One can still offer options, but have a choice pre-selected by default, 
akin to how some other distros are doing.

But let's not get muddled in details.

Let me be brutally honest:  withholding choice and options here and/or 
diminishing kde's visibility *will* disenfranchise a lot of people. 
We'll lose out PR-wise big time, especially in light of opensuse's 
recent work that is largely perceived as doing right by the community.

Is that a price the board is willing to pay?
