From Red Hat's POV it is not Fedora Gnome Workstation (https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2020/05/07/gnome-is-not-the-default-for-fedora-workstation/).


I think this gets to the heart of the issue.  If we set aside subjective arguments about which desktop is better or more popular, only one of these desktops allows Fedora to publish a stable operating system which is a coherent whole, because only one of them has a release cycle that aligns with Fedora's.  The other desktop's release cycle does not align, which means that a significant component of the system rebases in the middle of a release, which undermines the fundamental concept of a stable release.

If RPM's ELF dependency generator were better, the importance of stability would be debatable, but as it is, I really think Fedora should be more stable than it is, especially for whatever it defines as "the OS."  Today, dnf/rpm will happily allow users to install an application that will not run because that application actually depends on newer versions of dependencies than are installed on the system.  If a significant portion of the standard desktop regularly rebased in the middle of a release, I expect that would be a more common problem.
