Do the metrics really need to be kept separate?

- This will be enabled only on variants that adopt the metrics system
  and presumably we will require that adoption requires the same opt-in
  process as the one proposed here for Workstation
- There is value in knowing if, say, someone installs one metric-enabled
  variant then install an alternate desktop on top (maybe that desktop
  would be a candidate for a new Spin)
- There is, down the road, once we have a more generic mechanism for
  this (I'm going to assume outside of Workstation and maybe KDE most
  smaller variants will not reinvent the wheel on the onboarding UX) -
  also value in knowing if people install a spin then end up installing
  a different desktop - there have been concerns raised about how we
  don't currently have a good way to decide what spins to stop working
  on

Also... if it turns out people are switching desktops quite often,
perhaps a way to properly switch variants cleanly without reinstalling
would be worth working on (this is already easy on immutable distros,
but there's no reason it can't be done on the traditional variants)
