In the context of Workstation, KDE (or any other DE) inclusion has
been discussed as being available through software-installer.  If that
is the only option, then it would mean GNOME must be installed and
booted into to run software-installer to install KDE.  I'm personally
unsure if the live image installation can handle multiple DEs.  Even
if that isn't the only install option, most of the GNOME stack is
still required to be installed.
