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.


I agree here, I think the removal of the all purpose Fedora DVD is a terrible idea. I've sold a lot of people on Fedora simply because of the DVD. The options it gives you comes in very handy in the long run and its removal does indicate a bias towards GNOME in Fedora.
