Yep, bluecurve is not guilty here. The actor and the locations changed, but
what is always the same is that "an actor" wants a default desktop/theme for
rh/fedora,
"another" feels hurt and wants no default, while the "folks" thinks thats
irrelevant,
because they are *not* "ignorant masses".
The paradox here is that if fedora has to feed ignorant masses, you want a
default desktop
