Really? 

The KDE SIG has full access to change what gets installed when you 
install from the DVD. If you're saying it's releng and FESCo's
responsibility to fix that, then as a releng and FESCo member, I'll fix it...

    Drop KDE from the DVD, to avoid blocker bugs due to installed package set.

    Drop KDE environment as an installation choice. Live media is the SIG-supported install method.

Ready to push whenever.

Now, I'm ASSuming they don't actually want that. But, to be clear: the
installation choices of the assorted desktops on the DVD/netinstall are the
provence of those SIGs. If they don't want to maintain them, we can absolutely
remove them, just as we'd do for any Spin that was not maintained or tested.
