I'm not talking about blocking pre-existing projects, I'm really looking forward a
solution where the two could live. Sure we don't want users/distributions to
decide but they do.

Well if we go into the merits discussion I really think we will get nowhere,
as we didn't sort this first we won't sort this out now, KDE and GNOME primary
goals is Linux, so I really don't think supporting platforms where they already
have good solutions for this is a way to go.

So how do we go into the merit discussion without creating yet another flame war?
