Hi Adam,
I lived through the 2011 period, and at that time the number of people available for KDE software support was insufficient. In an earlier response I suggested that a single website is where we should be focusing more info about the various isos.
We don't need a separate set of web pages per iso, as it is a disadvange. A user could browse the one Fedora site and select the ISO that suits his needs.
And by the way, I started with Fedora 0.1, when the printed computer magazines had CDs with Fedora included. (grin)
Yeah, I remember the big whoo-haaa when we went from 800meg CDs to 2048meg DVDS.

Kevin, I know you and I have been around forever and 2011 feels like
yesterday, but it was really quite a long time ago.
Some of the people involved in the proposal didn't even use Fedora in
2011. Heck, there are probably people using Fedora who weren't *born*
in 2011.
If you compare the KDE SIG member list from May 2011 (approx. time of
your old proposal) and the current one, the only people who appear on
both lists are Rex Dieter and Than Ngo, neither of whom is an owner of
this Change proposal.
