The assumes a poor customizability system. There's no reason why the
sysadmin shouldn't be able to lock specific features down so, for example,
the task bar can't be removed. Leaving the decision to those managing the
deployments seems more constructive to me than having the developers
saying that something can't be done, ever.

I knew that to be true of KDE. I didn't know whether GNOME had this
feature, but one example is enough to make the point that it's quite
possible to provide both customizability and enough control over that
so end-users can't just break their system.
