I said WM's, but should have said Desktops, yes. Thanks. ;-)

What I would really like, is a BDFL that says "this is not the moment to discuss about desktops", we don't even have packages for any of them, let's focus on what we need _now_. Anyway, if it would come down to a poll, I'm pretty sure GNOME would win. Well, polls might not be the better way to make such decision, the problem is, is there anyone willing to mantain Indiana packages for desktop X, Y or Z? There is no point in making a poll if none is going to maintain those packages. We need to stop this kind of pointless discussion and start focusing on what we really need, a sane package managing system, an installer, conventions for packaging, etc. So whatever happens, let's just stop talking about WM's...

I would add, no more mails about desktops (at this stage). -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz
