I still don't consider the name "Fedora 7" is not distinct enough for a
spin. If a user saying I installed the Fedora 7 release he could very
well be referring to one of the other spins instead. Other than I would
drop "previously called Prime" part since that was used only in test
releases and the wider audience wouldn't have heard about it.

This kinda makes the KDE Live CD live in a obscure corner which I don't
prefer. I understand the need to avoid confusion. My alternative
suggestion is:
I am a basic desktop user (web browsing, emails etc)
-> Fedora GNOME Live images
I am a basic desktop user who prefers KDE
-> Fedora KDE Live images
