+1

but I would suggest that all those guys get a network install option. In 
particular the live CDs, in that case they could replace the boot.iso. 
It is true that it takes 10x times to download a full CD compared to 
boot.iso, but that's still tractable?

I belong to those guys, and I would say NO. :)

Just because, if you don't like KDE, you won't like LXDE for aesthetic 
reasons, and XFCE is practical but neither nice in my opinion. However, 
if would not have a size issue, I'll say YES only if we include all the 
small desktop environments; because that's a great stuff about Mageia 
that we have almost all of them.
