It's really about resources issues. The desktop team within Sun is already swamped enough without having to look and fix issues with KDE as well. But yeah, I completely agree with you - having the ability for customers to install KDE off the companion CD or off some online package repository would be *ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC*. They just have to be made aware that there is no official Sun support of those components, but can be assured that the community will help as much as possible with any problems they might encounter.
