Mike, I think you've misunderstood the proposal a bit. The plan isn't at all to move completely to a server based distro - I sincerely hope I didn't give that impression. The Dev branch will continue to have a full desktop and will continue to be updated from the Oracle software repositories (which are still open). The proposal for the Stable branch was for it to be a clone of the dev branch in every way, just that we'll also provide critical security updates for a small set of packages, for a fixed time period. While the stable branch is sat there only getting security updates, the /dev branch will continue to be updated, receiving the latest and greatest desktop software.
