I'm arguing that people will either think that or (more likely) that GNOME
is the only possible desktop (a misconception which the "featuring the
GNOME desktop" small print wouldn't fix either). Now technically they'd in
both cases think that it contains "all possible desktops" (if they think
there's just one, it would be "all possible"), but the distinction is
important because:

... this is not true in the second case.

Having in the title would be clearer (see also the above) and make sure the
information appears everywhere, not just on that page.

Except if you go (e.g. from some link on some other site) directly to
get-fedora-all because the fancy page hides 5 of the 7 primary options (it
would be 7 of 9 if we started shipping PPC Live CDs, which is now
technically possible as of F11).

Still, having "GNOME" in the name would at least make it automatically show
up there and everywhere else.
