Well, technically spoken, yes. I don't think many users would like this 
approach, installing from a single DVD is just too comfortable.

On the other hand, we might consider providing up-to-date desktop environments 
as add-on products during the life cycle of the distro (basically make an 
add-on from factory repo after new KDE/GNOME/whatever gets released and 
stabilized).
