To make a choice, the user would need to know the differences between
the various environments.  If they can't, the installer should provide a
default one - which would suggest that NetBSD favors (endorses,
supports, whatever) this particular environment.  Back to square one:
*if* NetBSD's installer sets up X, we need to decide on a default
environment.
