Although I haven't tried "null" yet, it's been known that RedHat has 
great prefence over Gnome than KDE. What they did was strip down KDE to 
its barest minimum (libraries and apps) to even look like Gnome and yet 
still run because it uses the critical KDE components needed to run the 
KDE app, or something like that. 
 
I really like KDE though. I use KDE in this box (7.3) but installed the 
eye-candy stuff made by Connectiva. But the issue at hand, as the site 
has said, is not about themes, but about application 
stability/functionality. What RedHat is planning to do cripples KDE as a 
whole. If they don't want KDE, "then don't bundle it" would be more 
simple. 
 
Does it affect GNU/Linux entirely? Not really. Servers don't need KDE or 
Gnome. But desktops do. That's why it's a serious matter.
