My take on this is: KDE should be release blocking. It's strongly represented in Fedora, both in terms of users and available developer resources. We should make sure KDE is fully functional before rolling out a Fedora release. KDE should not be a top level Product. In my opinion, Fedora should only produce the currently listed 3 Products and not more. Otherwise we get back at square 1 where we have too many offerings and nobody knows what makes a supported Fedora. KDE should stay a separate spin with its own install media. Just as it is now; nobody is taking that away. And possibly it could evolve a bit more towards a separate derivative, with it's own home page and marketing; similar to how Kubuntu is to Ubuntu now. -- Kalev, Fedora Workstation WG -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
