In other industries "model" distinguishes one variant from another:

Fedora model=server
Fedora model=workstation-Gnome
Fedora model=workstation-KDE

The above are well-supported. Then we have:

Fedora model=workstation, desktop=LXDE
etc.

which exist but are not the main focus at present (though they might
graduate to workstation-LXDE or whatever in some later release).

I don't expect that to please everyone but I'll throw it out there.
