What is the official/semi-official positon of Fedora on KDE?

I don't use KDE very often as I'm more of a XFce fan but sometimes 
it's handy to switch in order to help answer questions like this.

I've not seen any statements by anyone that indicates one particular 
desktop over another.  I suppose you could make a case that KDE and 
GNOME are the preferred desktops if you believe that remaining in 
the core distribution, as opposed to being moved to extras, 
indicates any preference.

Whenever I log in to the GUI interface I am presented with a 
"sessions" button where I can switch between:

1. GNOME
2. Default System Session
3. KDE
4. xfce session
5. failsafe terminal

and choosing one for the login session will display another option 
box, as I log in, to allow me to make my choice the default login.

If kde-redhat offering has things that you want and the regular 
distribution does not, I'm not sure I understand why will it matter 
what someone else thinks?  You can always request a feature via 
bugzilla and the worst that can happen is the assigned developers 
will say no, but they won't know your desire until you ask.
