Do you remember the GNOME 1.x => 2.x transition? Similarly to
how there
are forks of GNOME now to 'keep the GNOME 2 candle burning,'
there were
forks of GNOME 1.x to 'keep the GNOME 1 candle burning.'
Do you remember what they were called? I didn't; I had to look
'em up.
Do you ever wonder what happened to them? Dead projects nobody
seems to
remember. Do we really want to switch to a desktop that history has
shown is likely to become a dead project in a few years?

It also doesn't seem smart to switch from a desktop on the basis
that
Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox - kernel developers, not UI experts
or even
typical desktop users by any means - don't like it. I think
switching
the desktop that has been our default for over 10 years and 18
releases
requires just a bit more research and reason than that.
