we align nicely for a F9 with KDE4 and GNOME 2.22. That would accomplice

provided neither projects slips their release date.
Why does the KDE spin have to
be released at the same time as the general
GNOME-oriented release?
With F7 creating custom spins should be "easy". Just have a time when the
GNOME desktop will be ready (and well-tested) as the F8 release, release
a F8 KDE spin beta/release candidate at the same time, wait for KDE final to
be out and release a F8+updates+KDE4 spin after some time of testing.
It will much likely be of much better quality than the "real" F8
by then, since the entire distro will have a month or so of testing by
those idiots that happen to believe GNOME is the better desktop.
