Kenneth, I am having trouble parsing your statements to understand your intent/point, but here is my attempt. Please correct any of my misunderstandings.

If you are using KXStudio (or even their repositories) then the basis for any comparisons or contrasts is void in my opinion. > and saw no build up comments regarding going to xfce which I suffered with > over 1.5 years with no known supporters, [snip] The decision to move towards XFCE is not based on the past, hence no build up comments regarding GNOME 2's performance, but rather the future, which is the eventual degradation of the gnome-panel package, Unity as the default Ubuntu DE, and GNOME 3's release. I am not exactly sure what you suffer with for 1.5 years. The lack of XFCE? Apparently you expected supporters, can you explain what position they were to support and why you expected them? I am a bit appalled at the sudden off course decision to suddenly jump forth > with an "Officially Announced" boondoggle.. [snip] Kenneth, have you read in my blog [1] where I gave reasons for the move to XFCE? I look forward to a discussion if you could provide counterpoints to the reasons given rather than simply providing the "sudden off course decision" attribute. And why is this a "boondoggle"? The team made a decision, will make the changes, and release Ubuntu Studio 11.10 with XFCE. I do not view this as a waste of time or effort. Good, developers made a decision.

Furthermore, I will be happy to announce the availability of downloadable images when they are ready at the appropriate time. The first release of the Alpha 1 image will be June 2nd according to Oneirc Release Schedule [2]. Additionally, the will be available in the same locations and via the same means as they have been during previous release. I am unsure, however, if you are explicitly cognizant that we are discussion the _upcoming_ (i.e. future) release, the one to be officially released in October of this year. As such, we have only just begun development on this release. I believed that we were acting "official" by making the "official announcement", planning the development, intending to effect the development, and scheduling to release according the the schedule. I would appreciate any suggestions you might provide on how we might act more "official".
