I suggest everyone cut the drama. We're talking about whether or not the 
live cd is labeled as 'gnome desktop' or leaving it as it currently is 
which says: 'fedora 11 desktop edition: featuring the gnome desktop'.

I don't see the need for the distinction.

Furthermore, I was being flippant b/c I thought the claim that Kevin was 
making was a bit over the top. Misleading? That implies intent and no one 
is intending to mislead anyone.

Now, I don't understand why it is - but there seems to be a contigent of 
people who work on the KDE packaging for fedora who believe that KDE is 
being slighted or biased against in some way.

We have a default install of Fedora. It installs a desktop that features 
gnome.

There is no bias there, it just in reality.

Maybe reality has an anti-kde bias, but it's not been put there by anyone 
on fesco, the board or anyone else. Being melodramatic about it is not 
going to change anything.
