I stand for a decent chunk of the community in that I like twm, and a
smaller chunk in that I like CDE. Something about the minimalism of these
desktops draws me into them and makes me use them, even when there are
modern options available. I also like them as they are low-overhead enough
to run on my home server with a 90's Matrox graphics chipset, when I need
to run a stupid piece of server software with graphics. I want to suggest
adding these two desktops as an option alongside KDE in the 15.0 installer.
