I think it's fine for GNOME Classic to be installed by default (of
course not as the default session). It's just a few shell extensions, so
it shouldn't take up much space and wouldn't make sense as an extra
environment group. I think the UI for choosing between different desktop
sessions is sufficiently simple that this won't be very confusing to
users, and it would make Fedora Workstation more appealing to users who
prefer a more traditional environment.

Either way, it's not a big deal.
