Well, actually I think it would be a good thing for KDE in Fedora. I'm a KDE 
user, and I use Rex Dieter's KDE packages from kde-redhat.sf.net.
The work he (and the kde-redhat team, but mainly he) does on these packages 
is absolutely outstanding. He proposes the latest KDE, the day it's out, 
for every FC release since even the days of Red Hat 7.3, plus RHEL 3 & 4. 
And the packages are of extremely good quality.

If the KDE packages can be maintained by the community, including of course 
Rex, (+ the current Red Hat maintainer) instead of the current Red Hat 
maintainer only, I'm convinced KDE would get much more love and be much 
more polished than it is now. The kde-redhat team just knows KDE better.

In my opinion, "Unleash KDE" is the right word. But since Fedora is commited 
to proposing both environments at install time, we need to be able to 
install from Extras in Anaconda, plus we need to do the work of moving KDE 
out of core, with all the dependencies, and that's just a lot of work.


Aurélien.
