1. I don't want to start a KDE food fight. I suspect that
it's a generational thing. In any event, I would think that
enough interest exists in the 3.5x "branch" to reconsider
including it on the install media. How many people are
installing "Sugar?"

Again, I am not knocking KDE4. However, it is a radical
departure from something that I have been using since RH-9,
possibly earlier.

2. The release notes: "This is to support gdm no longer
allowing the root user to log in to the graphical desktop."

While this is consistent with best practices and can be
changed by editing the file in pam.d, it just seems to me
that Fedora should not be making this decision for users.
Particularly on the first boot into a new system, some find
it very advantageous to log in as root. It's really up to
the end user to determine their threshold for risk
tolerance.
