 There are really 2 ways to look at feature #306967:

1) Make KDE the default, and make it a political statement. That is what the 
openFATE proposal looks like, that we should say "openSUSE is primarily a KDE 
distribution".

2) Make KDE the default, and try to not make it look like a political 
statement. This is what the proposal on this mailing list looks like, to 
preselect the KDE radio button in the installation page, and that's it, don't 
make a fuss of it.


 Option 1) is tempting, as I think there would be a lot to gain, but even 
option 2) is an improvement, purely for the user experience.

 So, first of all, can we all make sure we are discussing the same thing?
