And you don't consider KDE to be part of Fedora? KDE Live is mostly KDE 
programs and some GNOME, some GTK and other programs just like GNOME 
live cd. It has never been about purity of the desktop environment. Just 
different focus. Both of the desktop environments are part of Fedora. 
The GNOME live images are not anymore specifically about Fedora than the 
KDE live images.

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.

PS: I am mostly using GNOME. This isn't my bias.
