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. - David
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. -- To be updated... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
