I agree %150.  This mdkkdm thing has gone on for too long; to continue
to advance this because a marketing department thinks it sets the distro
apart from everybody else is totally bogus. Mdkkdm is just something
that I don't want to bother with; bugs, glitches, and everything else
that goes along with a brand new program.  What the heck was the problem
with either gdm or kdm?

Mdkkdm is like tits on a boar hog and should indeed be a choice instead
of a forced issue.  The market itself can then decide wether mdkkdm will
be a success or failure; for my own part, that's one cow pasture I don't
want to walk thru.
