Is it much harder to market "It's GNUstep WhateverDesktop"
rather than "It's GNUstep"?

Using marketing to suggest merging projects when they have

It's even harder to market GNUstep if/when key projects like
desktops fail. Can we support the projects without bossing them?

If you have such a low opinion of developers, it is probably
going to be a little difficult to persuade them.
