So my feelings about this are mixed: While:
* I disagree about the need for a default, or at least about emphasizing the
  default as much as we do now (direct ISO link etc.),
* I think KDE Plasma Desktop would be the better default (see also
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KDE_Plasma_Desktop_by_default ,
  which I had proposed for Fedora 16, but which got summarily rejected due
  to lack of endorsement by the rest of KDE SIG),
I support this feature anyway, just because it is not GNOME 3 ;-) , or more 
accurately, because it is about defaulting to a more traditional desktop 
than the very unconventional gnome-shell.
