Possibly. We had done a spin of XFCE in the past, and we may do so again as well. What I'd very much like to see is a "Desktop SIG" around exactly this sort of thing. I'd like to see Mate, or XFCE spun up and included as a T1 repo that folks can add. This may happen within EPEL, but if not, it would be very nice for someone in the community to spin up. > Or will I need to roll my own (or bring 'em in from Fedora) ??
