So how does 'Fedora KDE' vs 'Fedora Desktop' differ from
'Ubuntu'
vs 'Kubuntu' ? We don't even force a different project name.
I don't know... I am/was trying to consider things from those who see
this as a problem. Write now the lack of KDE in the name isn't
preventing me from using Fedora. But from reading around the internet,
it seems a non-ignorable percentage simply do not consider Fedora when
looking for a distro to use KDE on - while it is obviously not really
a popularity content, more users don't add that much more load to a
project (I would think) while with more users, more helpers should
come - there by spreading the work and love around.
