The problem is that the way the new getfedora page fails to offer KDE is NOT 
inclusive:
* The only 2 links to the Spins page containing it are:
  - in a plain text paragraph that appears below the unscrolled screen even
    with a resolution of (unusually high in these wide-screen days)
    1028×1024, and
  - a mention in the site map in the page footer even below and even smaller
    that doesn't really count.
* There is also no mention of what can be expected on the Spins page, in
  particular that KDE is one of the Spins offered.
* Nor is it made clear that "Workstation" is GNOME-only.
The page retains all the bad properties of the previous get-fedora (as 
opposed to get-fedora-all, which should always have been the default, but 
was instead killed entirely) page and makes the situation even worse.

Nor is the decision by the EMEA Ambassadors to replace the Multi-Desktop 
DVDs with "Workstation"-only ones 
(https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/getting-ready-for-fedora-21/) 
inclusive.

And this uninclusiveness is not even a mistake, but a deliberate decision, 
as evidenced by the "Fedora is now more focused" slogan on the getfedora 
front page. How do you expect us to NOT feel left out by that "Fedora Next" 
nonsense?
