22 Removing it is fine. I'm in the freedesktop and Xfce projects and I had
23 no idea this Desktop project even existed.
24 Pretty sure everyone would just ignore anything from/to it anyway.
25 Problems with eg KDE and Xfce are mostly not really related. And the few
26 things that are related are more core components that are under
27 freedesktop (polkit/consolekit etc). In which case, that component is
28 fixed without needing to bother every single other project or we just CC
29 them all if need be.
