Hi,

I don't think someone/anyone really spent time investigating the whole
chain for a desktop environment on CentOS 7 armhfp. I've myself never
tried even to just see if that would work. The initial goal was to have
"minimal" working, as most users are probably targeting such system. If
now some people would like to spend time investigating what would be
needed, what's still to be built, etc, that can "become a thing" :-)
