I'm not aware of anyone working on the old Desktop spin.  Work for F21
has progressed to the Workstation Live image.

That requires double the QA maintenance and additional maintenance on
the kickstart creation side.  It also creates confusion and clutter on

given that we're intentionally adding a significant amount of packages
to support things like QT/KDE apps.
