But I wanted to ask a wider question: is there some way to avoid having a separate immutable spin for each and every desktop? The desktop is maybe a 100MB out of the whole distro, and everything else is the same between the spins. For a package-based install, a user would could just the generic variant and then configure their account to use a different graphical shell. But here we need a place on the download page, and in the docs, and we build ISO images, run QA, etc., so there is a noticable cost to each new deliverable.
