It became evident a few months ago that a suggestion like yours,
while certainly reasonable, is not useful.

Even if KDE were good/polished/complete enough (and it actually is),
the proposal "let the user choose desktop" was replied with
"we do not want the user to choose".

So, given:
a) the user will not choose, we choose
b) our choice is GNOME

KDE people have been unable to change a).
Attacking b) is not natural to KDE people, as KDE *is* fundamentally
about _choice_ (the same doesn't apply to GNOME, which is fundamentally
about _pre-cooked_).

Best regards.
