What apps are the default on a given spin is a decision which should really
be taken by the SIG maintaining the spin, in this case the GNOME/Desktop
SIG (i.e. essentially the RH Desktop Team).

I'd be really pissed off if somebody tried to decide what apps the KDE spin
should ship by writing a feature page without ever discussing it with the
KDE SIG and sending it directly to FESCo, also completely ignoring live CD
size constraints (as you did).

I think FESCo made the right decision here.
