While I think this is some what like blackmail, you give us the options

GNOME only, I'm scared of the alternative as all official spins have to
undergo QA testing and we are short on staff as it is.
That's actually up to the QA team, and AFAIK the kde spin is blessed
already and distributed by the mirrors. This is a pure marketing
decision. Do we want it on the get fedora page or not.
So if we market both and the QA flatly just don't have time and manpower
to vet both, say the KDE spin has a horrible lot of problems does that
not reflect badly on all of Fedora. In effect the choice is vetting
everything (which we should do, sadly manpower, endless variantion and
so on makes this practically impossible especially as the number of
spins keep mounting) or blessing one spin then ensuring that at least
rocks hard. Personally I feel pretty damn confident about the state of
the GNOME spin, I've beaten it mercilessly for weeks without seeing
major issues.
This is not marketing's concern / burden to worry about. If they ship
KDE to the mirrors, its a vetted official release and not a 'custom
respin'.
