That's nice but I felt the codebase was too young and the userbase too 
small. I think (and hope) if they will survive enough it will become a 
very interesting project.
Furthermore I just noticed the support in debian got improved.
It seems I may try it sooner than later.

There are things where I'm braver, but experimenting with DE is not one 
of these. Knowing and playing with the most bleeding edge, niche DE 
doesn't give me any competitive advantage in my work.

Staying on the bleeding edge for work related stuff is enough 
interesting and time consuming.
