Consider yourself flamed ;-)
I completely disagree on this. Currently, KDE and GNOME are of equal
value. There's great GNOME software, like Evolution, and incredible KDE
software, like K3B. Many people, use both, like me. Removing one of them
is a great mistake, I think.

Someone propsed the idea to better organize ISO images. For example, CD
#2 and #3 could be GNOME software, while CD #4 and #5 could be KDE
software.

I don't see why... Instead, both KDE and GNOME communities are working
together towards integration and common goals. Removing KDE or GNOME
completely makes no sense and limits the freedom of choice.
