It's because of statements like this that Fedora has a bad reputation with the KDE community (just look at some of the comments at dot.kde.org). I'm doing my best to improve Fedora's reputation there, but statements like this from official people like you as the Release Engineer really ruin things. How is KDE on Fedora less integrated? Why do you think people like Than Ngo, Rex Dieter, Sebastian Vahl or me work our behinds off to fix things like this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228111 which is now finally fixed (thanks also to a developer from Pardus who made a one-line fix to my patch to get it to work instead of crashing)? (In fact, we have to specifically fix what your GNOME developers break, but that's another issue.) We're really doing what we can to provide a well-integrated KDE desktop to Fedora users, I think it's unfair to us to call this "a less integrated less polished experience" and "not our best foot forward", and I also think it's Fedora's reputation you're ruining there (again, look at some of the comments at dot.kde.org, I'd be surprised if nobody is going to quote your above paragraph the next time Fedora is mentioned anywhere), not just KDE's and ours.
