I guess I did not express myself well.

It was only a side point that the FC community supports KDE well, 
incrementally via yum even though it is not their preferred desktop.

Yes, both FC and FC-derived YDL allow you to install both. But if you 
know anything about RedHat and the decisions they made, you'll know 
that KDE is a latecomer to the distro and is definitely the 
overlooked stepsister.

They still put money into Gnome and OOo, but were forced by the user 
community to include Rex Deiter's KDE work.

I'm not sure if that bosh was meant personally.

Its a minor point I was making. Fedora's community (remember that the 
YellowDog work is derived from this) IS supportive of incremental 
updates. And that's even though strategically RH is behind Gnome and 
pushes Gnome.

(And yes, I know RH has less to do with Fedora now, but all the heavy 
lifting in FC is RHL.)

Best, Ted
