I think the things start being a problem when the maintainers of the 
"default desktop" are *consistently* making decision which are 
considered bad by a large part of the community, thus rendering that 
spin unworthy of the "default" label.

Is their right to do whatever they like in their spin but is also the 
other's right to not like it.
