Just listing the desktop live images next to each other like the old
download page did is the right way to do it.
The old download page was better, the new one is a typical case of "fixing"
something which was not broken. The only thing the old page was missing was
clearly stating that the "Desktop Live" image is GNOME. That still didn't
get fixed properly. (The word "GNOME" now at least shows up in the
description, but it ought to be in the name, or at least in parentheses
next to the name.)

I did participate, raising mostly the same issues Arthur is raising. I got
ignored.

Quite the opposite, hiding KDE as much as you can get away with is not going
to help fix such issues. Don't you realize how GNOME bias is deterring KDE
people from contributing to (and even using) Fedora? Feature it as
prominently as GNOME and we'll get more people interested in KDE showing up
to contribute. The more visible KDE is, the more people interested in KDE
we will attract.
