That Red-Hat developer has been preaching to the choir for a long time from
my understanding. I think he wants to turn Gnome Desktop Environment into a
Desktop of it's own, making the Linux underbelly disappear much like
Microsoft made DOS disappear from their lineup, making Windows the primary
focus. if Gnome goes the way of Windows .... there is a plethora of other
choices to choose for a WM ... openbox/blackbox/fluxbox, XFCE, yes KDE is an
option, it takes some getting used to but it can still be used.

As a side note, I wonder what kind of impact that kind of decision making
will have on the Android platform ... my phone says it's running X/Gnome for
the UI.
