Thanks....  I thought the target was F20 since it was in all the previous
test releases.  I guess this is a good explanation ....

SDDM is now lacking some functionality compared to KDM, namely XDMCP, VNC and
multi-seat support. They are planned to be added.

Martin Briza, the KDE SIG guys is working a lot on XDMCP and multi seat support
- not sure what support is already there. But the initial idea behind switching
to SDDM was - it works pretty well for standard use cases, everyone who needs
more features can switch back to KDE. In the end - even these standard usecases
were not covered very well, so it was postponed to F21. KDM really has to die,
it's dead for several years now...

Hm, so GDM is useless for XDMCP, multiseat, multihead and long user lists, KDM is dead, but still usable, switching to SDDM is fine for standard use case on desktop but lacking XDMCP and multiseat... this does not sound very good to me.
