If non-techie Debian advocates like myself are to become more effective we absolute need a live Debian/ KDE CD that is also HDD installable because that's the way to make converts.
History has shown that what you "need" and what the Debian hive-mind of developers want to do, are often two very different things. :-)
Luckily, sometimes that is NOT the case. But in the case of Gnome vs KDE... I doubt the Debian developers can come to any reasonable consensus.
You can follow the fun on debian-devel and search the archives if you're REALLY bored.
