While not exactly documentation:

  Get Fedora 11 Desktop Edition Now
    This is the latest version of the Fedora Linux
    operating system featuring the GNOME desktop.

And then on the right:
  KDE fans, go here!
  Have a PowerPC?  Go here!
  Show me all download options in one page!

Put in this way, it appears that KDE and PPC are
just "supported because there are a few weird
people and weird machines around".

Better replace fans with something more neutral
such as "users".

BTW, why in the first two sentences the webmaster
is talking and in the last one the web user is talking?
Sounds stylistically unpolished.

Suggestion:
  Fedora with KDE
  Fedora for PowerPC
  All Fedora download options

Best regards.
