I don't think anybody has advertised a specific process or methodology that we are following, and I suggest not to get too hung up on product management terminology. Throwing around acronyms is stupid, anyway. We could just talk about 'defining the product'.
In the case of the workstation working group I would think that similar same approach would be needed as I see is needed in the server working group since the workstation working group is also dealing with multiple products since we are shipping multiple desktop environments.
No, we are not defining multiple products. We are defining a single workstation product.
It will have a default user experience that is using one desktop environment, GNOME. We will define criteria for other desktop environments to be installable as alternatives. Those criteria will include things such as:
- use logind for session registration - work with gdm as the display manager - does not interfere with the default user experience (cf the recent incident where installing cinnamon broke screen locking in GNOME)
