Best is certainly subjective. If I a GNOME user I certainly don't want a 
whole bunch of KDE packages to have K3b installed. If I just want to 
burn some files quickly nautilus cd burning is more suitable. For other 
purposes there are programs like Brasero.

Installed by default in where? The GNOME based live images wouldn't have 
enough space. KDE based live images already have them. If you choose KDE 
in "Fedora" spin you get k3b by default too.

Merge will get such programs more maintainers hopefully.
