I don't even care so much whatever they want to do for desktops. I start
caring when "solutions" for desktops start impacting whatever happens on
the server side. One of the reasons we were actually able to build and
deploy enterprise level Linux desktops over 10 years ago was because there
were none of these insane dependency chains. grumble grumble, now get off
