It's why everything is so fragmented to begin with. "Oh, I don't like what X is doing, so I'll fork it and make Y."

If I were in a position where I managed several distros... I could say we could just suck it up and universally use XFCE, but then there's always someone who won't like that and they'll respin a distro to have some other DE instead.

It seems with every decision we end up with another fork.
