So why OI has DE at all? Leading to your logic community has to cut off
DE from distribution at all... And what we will have? Another one
illumos based server distribution?!
I see OI as OS for general purposes, so stopping development in DE will
decrease value of OI. Yes, community is to small but we have to find
compromise and community will grow up.
P.S. I'm not an active OI developer, but I help with testing and I'm
going to contribute as developer at future.

+1. There are alot of very useful desktop operating systems already,
so i see no point in OI trying to compete with them. In business
speak OI has a sustainable competitive advantage with ZFS, zones,
dtrace, etc etc and those alone are why most people will be attracted
to OI. Our OI servers sit in various computer rooms and we talk to
them exclusively over ssh, if it didn't feature a GUI we wouldn't
notice or care. I wonder how many other OI users feel similarly?
