So what does that mean for an existing hipster install that wishes to
switch to MATE?  Are we supposed to install /mate_install first and then
manually remove a list of gnome-related packages?  Or, would it be better
to remove gnome packages first, then install mate_install?

In either case, is there a list of packages that should be removed?

Thanks for your work on MATE!  I look forward to trying it out.
