and defining Fedora Desktop vs Fedora KDE gets a bit easier to do.
I definitely see what you're saying, and yeah, perhaps an issue is that
we don't have enough of a separate identity for the separate spins. We
don't have Kedora and Gedora (or Dedora, if you like ;>), we have
Fedora...but still, there's enough updates pushed even in packages in
the Desktop spin which wouldn't go through in a more conventionally
defined update process (ask yourself if RHEL would ship 'em :>).
