Hi Adam,
I lived through the 2011 period, and at that time the number of people available for KDE
software support was insufficient. In an earlier response I suggested that a single
website is where we should be focusing more info about the various isos.
We don't need a separate set of web pages per iso, as it is a disadvange. A user
could browse the one Fedora site and select the ISO that suits his needs.
And by the way, I started with Fedora 0.1, when the printed computer magazines had CDs
with Fedora included. (grin)
Yeah, I remember the big whoo-haaa when we went from 800meg CDs to 2048meg DVDS.

It is funny that the KDE SIG is proposing that now. I have a sense of déjà-
vu:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KDE_Plasma_Desktop_by_default
Back then, the KDE SIG was NOT willing to support my proposal (even though
the timing would have been ideal, given that GNOME was badly hit at the time
by the GNOME 3 transition and users disappointed by the radical cuts in
customizability). Now they are refloating it as their own, without even
citing my original proposal.
Kevin, I know you and I have been around forever and 2011 feels like
yesterday, but it was really quite a long time ago.
Some of the people involved in the proposal didn't even use Fedora in
2011. Heck, there are probably people using Fedora who weren't *born*
in 2011.
If you compare the KDE SIG member list from May 2011 (approx. time of
your old proposal) and the current one, the only people who appear on
both lists are Rex Dieter and Than Ngo, neither of whom is an owner of
this Change proposal.
