Which is also an entirely valid response... The tool itself is 
inhibitive to adoption of more generally accepted standard desktops, 
therefore, one can ignore it (which we did for MeeGo as well anyway).

Even the X- prefix is outdated, as nothing specifies that it refers to 
"Xorg" or not. And wayland-based UI's are already in existance... W-XFCE?
