Well, as K3B isn't provided on the isos, I fail to see how removing KDE
from the isos would make you lose K3B :)

My idea on the subject is that Fedora *Core* should provide only one DE
(GNOE) but could (should) provide apps from the other DE (KDE). What I
don't like is have several apps for the same task. So I'd say that the
best is to provide GNOME libs and KDE libs, the GNOME desktop and the
best apps for each task (OOO for office, Mozilla for web-browsing,
Evolution for email, K3B for CD burning, Quanta for HTML editing,
etc...).

If people want to replace the GNOME desktop by the KDE desktop, they
could still yum install it.
