Well, I assure you that the designers of this one certainly do not in
this case.

I'm happy to have an inclusive Fedora. As long as people are
interested, willing, and available to work on everything that needs to
be done, the complication is worth it.

Probably. I actually went to look and noticed that the web team is
working on it right now.

"Distain" is definitely not the official position, the collective one,
or, I don't think, even a significant minority view. I'm sure one can
find instances of individuals being distainful, or of KDE SIG members
being distainful of GNOME. Neither attitude is really welcome in the
Fedora project overall. Build cool stuff, share it, advance free and
open software together.

Don't worry. Well, plenty of things to worry about in the world today,
but not this one. :)
