I think a DE-agnostic evolution is very desirable!
Also I agree that less (programs) is better. As much as I've learnt to
appreciate libreoffice, even installing it on kde, I don't see a point
to include it in Ubuntu Studio. That's what we've got repos for...
Thank you very much for your efforts, Kaj, and keep up the good work!

We're currently moving towards becoming desktop environment agnostic, so
that would leave us with these problems to solve:
When the user installs Ubuntu Studio, they will choose which DE they
want. We'll try to include as many as we can.
For XFCE it will either be xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop.
We'll want to override some things - at least artwork.
The less, the better, as it leaves us with less maintenance work and we
can focus on the multimedia bit.
We won't have our own set of primary desktop tools, unless we decide we
want a package like that to override applications in other DEs. I don't
see the point in this, but it's a possibility.
So, if we don't have our own primary desktop tools, what is left is our
workflows.
At least Libre Office Writer could be included in our publishing
workflow.
These problems are to be solved for 14.04, and the discussion of this is
better suited for the ubuntu-studio-devel mail list.
Just letting you guys know a bit of what is going on.
