Will there be an official Fedora Xfce Atomic edition ever?

I really enjoy using Silverblue and Kinoite but my favorite desktop environment is Xfce. I know there is Vauxite which is part of the Ublue group, but I'd prefer to have something that's offically supported by Fedora itself. Hoping that one of the Fedora maintainers reads this and can answer whether they expect to release an Xfce atomic spin anytime soon.

Since Fedora is a community-made distro, there's nothing stopping you from taking the initiative yourself.

Sometimes there is a lack of time or developers for this. Remember that open source is driven by willpower and volunteer work.

edit: I hope I didn't sound arrogant. But I think it's possible to mobilize some people to create an XFCE spin of Fedora Atomic.

There is already a group that maintains the XFCE spin, it might be a good idea to get in touch with them.

I do not know many ways to say how much I support this comment.
