Yes, although do note the upcoming design at
https://stg.getfedora.org/, which makes the link to the new
http://labs.fedoraproject.org site more prominent and includes KDE and
other icons.
New users are discouraged to explore other
established desktop environments such as Plasma which are immensely
popular at schools and workplaces and they may find familiar to use.
I don't think "are discouraged" is quite fair. Instead, we didn't want
to bewilder and overwhelm users with a choose-your-own-adventure
presentation of Fedora. And, again, this strategy seems to be working —
we _are_ getting more Fedora users after a long downturn.
If people working on the KDE spin feel like showcasing this flavor in
schools and workplaces helps growth, _awesome_. Please do that! I
really like that Fedora has all of these different options under one
umbrella, rather than making everything other than the main focus be
the equivalent of Remixes — their own projects with mostly their own
infrastructure. But, on the other hand, presenting Fedora as a whole
bunch of components which you get to assemble just wasn't working to
help us grow.
