There's another use case, unmentioned, which is the G1G1 community. Some of these donors expect a laptop that follows their expectations about computers: robust support for wireless access points, printing, office automation programs, and loading files from a filesystem without finding a clever way to inject them into our journal first. Instead of (or as well as) preparing a separate disk image, we could prepare a Desktop activity which launches an Xfce session and includes some office tools, the standard NetworkManager applet, a configurable CUPS installation, and so on. This could reduce our support load, allowing us to proceed on with our regularly-scheduled world-saving.
