(From your email) I fail to see the advantage as other commenters have=20 pointed out. What problem is there that cannot be solved using=20 dependencies and kde/gnome use flags? This decision just seems to=20 increase the split between KDE and Gnome and that does not reflect=20 user's realities: They use both. Gnome desktop + kmail, k3b, yakuake or=20 KDE with evince, etc. Why add one more decision to make where the result is unclear (and=20 honestly, profile documentation is almost zero)?
