Some of this is weird. I work for a large (50,000+) company with a few hundred Linux desktops and we provide support for KDE and GNOME, plus let users do whatever else they want (fluxbox, fvwm, you name it). For a technical desktop (IT person), we don't need DVD support; we don't need graphical installers (desktops are installed and managed remotely); we don't let end-users choose a kernel, etc. As the article noted, e-mail, MS Office compatibility, instant messaging (Jabber protocol) are more important. This OSDL document may just end up being ignored...
