Kevin, it was not meant as a stab at you and your KDE team. My 
apologies if it came across like that.  I do like Redhat's Linux, use 
it on a daily basis on my laptop even.  I also respect Fedora as a 
testing ground and a distro in itself.
No more bad words about your employer.

I want to rephrase then: I would like to see KDE keep its independent 
position and easy build process.  Please don't let it grow more 
GNOME-like in maintenance effort and limitation of the target 
audience.

If you want to give people a feeling of unity (pun intended) when 
running KDE it should not be given to packagers as a shambles of small 
un-coordinated source tarballs.

Cheers, Eric
