> Is there anything preventing the Linux Foundation jumping in and officially supporting a desktop environment?

How would it change anything? Stock Ubuntu, Stock Fedora, Stock Red Hat, Suse Enterprise Linux at least all ship Gnome Shell as the default desktop. If the LF said "Gnome Shell is the default 'official' Linux desktop", what would change? I don't think Best Buy would immediately begin stocking Linux desktops.
