Different vendors can already distribute Fedora.

Think LUGs or conferences. RH does ship Fedora for free on these 
occasions and additional CD's would cost more to redistribute.

My personal preference might be irrelevant but whatever engineering 
resources being alloted to the project directly determines the level of 
development and integration work. Setting aside that point , community 
like I said can create their own targets based on Fedora repositories. 
There would can be any of  Fedora GNOME or KDE  or <insert your own 
target> editions. The difference is that the user can download one of 
those *single* CD's based on their choice and get most of what they want.
