What if Fedora Core development was divided in two divisions, the GNOME division and the KDE division, the releases will be available to be GNOME-only or KDE-only releases on seperate iso's, the GNOME ISO will specializes only on GNOME softwares and applications. There will be a micro-managed bug fixing for GNOME-only related softwares, the effort will be concentrating on much more focused approach than the traditional (hybrid ISO's), same to the KDE ISO, wherein include a KDE-only related (or specialized) softwares and applications.

Which version contains Xfce (which I run)?
You are also not considering that there are folks, myself included, who run a mix of apps, both gtk and qt (like k3b) in our current environments.
I think that you are taking too much of a black and white perspective here. There is already a lot of divisiveness over these issues and I don't think that this would help. There are already maintainers focused on specific components, which roll up into the full FC releases and I think that this approach serves the community well.
My 2 cents.

Absolutely. I prefer KDE, but I mostly use Gtk+ applications.
Seems like a bad idea.
Why?
- Many people use both - Many people (most?) mix qt and gtk apps happily. Personally i love my gnome, but i also like kde programs such as konqueror, kompare, etc. - Many systems has users with different opinions
Besides, it would be a waste of resources an split the distro in two.
I am seeing a greater and greater amount of kde/gnome trolling on the lists these days. Why? Gnome/kde is getting tighther and tighther technically - mixing apps between them is absolutely no problem, and that is a Good Thing.

Now, see what I'm talking about last October 2004. This is apparently what's happening now in Linux.
