The GNOME live images are not anymore specifically about Fedora than the
KDE live images.
KDE is a part of Fedora, however the overwhelming evidence is that Fedora
focuses on Gnome and GTK stacks. Almost all the Fedora upstream software
that is graphical is built on gnome/gtk. It is the most integrated
experience you can get. Using KDE is a less integrated less polished
experience, and thus it is not our best foot forward.

No. It's the desktop environment the GNOME team should be putting it's
best foot forward. The KDE team should be putting it's best foot forward
via the KDE live images (same for XFCE or fluxbox or whatever teams) and
we in the Fedora project should be giving both these teams *neutral
ground* to compete aggressively and fairly on winning over new users.
Except it's not the "GNOME" team. It's the Desktop team. The Desktop
team is
pushing a highly polished and integrated desktop, which currently happens to
be around the GNOME desktop environment.
