This with my Personal Opinion hat on, not representing QA:
I'm not sure all/most people who actually want to use Fedora KDE are likely to be sold on doing it by downloading what they will see as 'GNOME', installing that, and then installing KDE on top of it. I think this will be fine for some folks, but there'll be a significant constituency which just wants a KDE image.
In fact we might be creating a bit of a problem, because I can see both "want KDE as an alternative desktop on top of the Workstation product" and "just want Fedora KDE" as two entirely legitimate and viable constituencies, which sort of means we've just created a bunch of extra work for ourselves. I'm not sure I see a clever magical solution to that, though. Engage brain cells...
I'd suggest that for the Fedora Workstation, we declare that KDE is release-blocking *as an optional component atop the Workstation*.
For the constituency that wants a pristine KDE environment, they may choose to maintain their own spin, but *that spin* should be removed from the Fedora QA's matrix. (Fedora QA should focus on the Workstation add-on). The KDE SIG likely has its own sufficient resources for testing their pure-KDE spin.
