Removing it is fine. I'm in the freedesktop and Xfce projects and I had no idea this Desktop project even existed. Pretty sure everyone would just ignore anything from/to it anyway. Problems with eg KDE and Xfce are mostly not really related. And the few things that are related are more core components that are under freedesktop (polkit/consolekit etc). In which case, that component is fixed without needing to bother every single other project or we just CC them all if need be. -- Jason
