Well, I don't see how that's not the case. OK, the description on the
download page says "GNOME" in small print, as you point out:

but other references to the "Desktop Edition" or "Desktop Live" don't, e.g.
the one on get-fedora-all, documentation, discussions etc. There's plenty
of potential for misleading users.

Jef Spaleta nagged me about putting it before FESCo when the elections were
already underway. I decided to wait until after the election because it was
not a highly pressing matter and it was just a matter of a few days.
The thing is, any moment is as good as any other to file a proposal to
FESCo, I don't see why I *shouldn't* have filed it now. Surely I can't go
back in time and file it before the election (or even months before, when
nobody even told me to file it with FESCo). ;-)
I think saying "it has been like that for ages, you should have filed it
earlier" is a pretty weak argument against my proposal. Just because the
status quo has existed for a long time doesn't mean it can't be improved
upon.

It was because you (plural) didn't want to listen to my arguments, you were
just eager to shoot my proposal down no matter what.

The arguments you (plural) have brought have been very weak. If there are
such "rational reasons", I'd like to read them!
