if he is on the fedora website and seek a download the question "what is 
Fedora" don't matter - he is alreay there

KDE is known for much more than a decade
"Plasma" - pffff?!

the point here is that it makes no sense to call one flavour 
"Workstation" and the other "Plasma" because *both* are workstation or 
call it desktop setups

* the words GNOME and KDE already have a brand
* workstation is a usecase
* both are the same usecase in a different flavour

so you hardly can call one "Workstation" and the other "Plasma" or "KDE"
