Here's my  4 possible path outlines.

#1 Find a way to make the Distro desktop agnostic at core. With a
painless selector at install or some earlier stage.

#2 Status Quo. Distro comes the way it's creator decides. Has it's points.

#3 Go to extremes. One release is "Heavy" with all possible "Eye/Ear candy,
      Second is skeletal between single fd to BBC size.

#4 Variant of #1 -Desktop of choice installed by online setup from repository.
