That's why Ben suggests to have some kind of ḿanifesto.

Personally, I would see it in good eyes if some distribution becomes a
KDE project. It's fair that whoever uses KDE has their own goals, our
licenses allows for it, but still we should know who is aligned with
our goals instead of pushing all distributions away because they're
different.
