I don't know. I hear the folks pushing for there to be a DVD link on the
front page are offering trained dolphins with lasers. And the folks
pushing for there to be an x86_64 link on the front page are offering a
a year's supply of coconuts. I guess you'll just have to compete on the
open market.

There *IS* a spin choice for KDE on the spins page. It's rather
prominent. It will be more so when the page is reorganized to present
the spins in order of popularity by default. 

Are you asking me what will it take to put a KDE download link on the
main download page for Fedora? Maybe you're focusing on the wrong thing.
Your goal is to put you should focus more on how to make what's best for
the users happen rather than what's best for you.
