(From your email) I fail to see the advantage as other commenters have |
10 |
pointed out. What problem is there that cannot be solved using |
11 |
dependencies and kde/gnome use flags? This decision just seems to |
12 |
increase the split between KDE and Gnome and that does not reflect |
13 |
user's realities: They use both. Gnome desktop + kmail, k3b, yakuake or |
14 |
KDE with evince, etc. |

Why add one more decision to make where the result is unclear (and |
17 |
honestly, profile documentation is almost zero)? |
