Entirely valid concerns, however the intend is to unleash KDE so it's
huge userbase can give KDE under Fedora the attention it deserves (since
claims are that KDE is undermaintained in Core by many users). I believe
the intent is to make Anaconda able to install from 3rd party repos like
Extras during install so users of Fedora would still be able to install
a KDE desktop with as little hassle as possible.

But doesn't that near eleiminate the easy possibility of offline
installation? I know no one who uses Fedora + Gnome. And when ever I
install Linux for a new person, I install Fedora  + KDE, or give them
instructions to install it them selves.
