However. If Fedora wants to have a desktop and a netbook spin, should
they use Plasma or KDE?

So the Fedora Plasma Desktop spin and the Fedora Plasma Netbook spin?

Or the Fedora KDE Desktop spin and the Fedora KDE netbook spin?

As I wrote, I'm leaning to the first - Plasma Desktop spin and Plasma
Netbook spin. As this supports the decoupling of apps vs workspace.
But it might lower the usage (and thus value?) of our main brand, KDE.
So what do others think?
