I'd suggest that for the Fedora Workstation, we declare that KDE is
release-blocking *as an optional component atop the Workstation*.

For the constituency that wants a pristine KDE environment, they may
choose to maintain their own spin, but *that spin* should be removed
from the Fedora QA's matrix. (Fedora QA should focus on the
Workstation add-on). The KDE SIG likely has its own sufficient
resources for testing their pure-KDE spin.
