Choice of DE in Graphical Install

Wouldn't it be nice if users can make a choice of DE in Graphical Install like the installer for Antergos?
I am a translator!
clearly nice!
This would require a lot of work on Ubiquity, the installer of Trisquel, which is not set up for that.
I am a member!
Maybe, if one could pick the cli installer from the live system, this could work? Maybe an 'Advanced options' type page, in the gui installer, could offer choices like de, services, boot loader? People who don't expand the advanced options or run the cli installer would just get the Ubiquity default presentation?
This would be awesome. I tried Antetgos out. I love that feature.
We have at least a couple of years till the release of Trisquel 8. I hope I will learn a bit of coding and give it a try.
Trisquel 8 will be based on Ubuntu 16.04, which will be released in April 2016.
Ofcourse, but deblobbing and testing will take some time, right.
And now I realise I had typed atleast and not about. :D

That would be helpful. One of the first things I do is update and install XFCE4 because I can't stand the default GNOME desktop.
I wast not a big fan of it in the beginning but the Trisquel 7 default wallpaper and the default theme make a beautiful combination.
Didn't the Trisquel 7 artwork get an overhaul early on in the release? I recall
reading some forum post about new artwork a while back.
I love the default wallpaper and GTK theme as well. I use the pink wallpaper.
It probably wouldn't be the most user-friendly thing to add to the installer.
Considering how Trisquel is (presumably) intended to be user-friendly, adding this option could confuse new users, especially ones brand new to GNU/Linux that don't know what a DE is.
It's very easy to install a DE after system install-- is this option worth all the effort that would go into Ubiquity?
On the other hand we now have several ISOs to download, perhaps this could replace those.
So it'd either be a massive ISO that comes with Sugar, LXDE, and GNOME flashback, or it'd be a GUI net-install ISO...?
Or we could have one GUI net-install with multiple DEs for the user to select? But then we'd have five ISOs to choose from (Sugar, standard, mini, hypothetical GUI net-install, net-install...) which brings us back to square one.
Indeed, if this is going to be done, maybe Trisquel should inspire in his upstream and maintain different "flavors" with different .iso images for each flavor. The thing is, someone has to develop and maintain that. Any volunteer(s)?
That will be cool. Just likke those community versions that many distros have.
