Which is equivalent of saying that the serverWG should tie them to a 
single server role.

The fact is you can easily make a clearly identifiable workstation 
product without having to tie it down to a single desktop environment 
and administrators are split between using three desktop environment 
Gnome,KDE and XFCE on these parts which will result in those not using 
the desktop environment in the workstation product turning away from 
Fedora and move to another distribution ( depending on what happens with 
the rest of the DE ) or you wind up with a scenario with each of the 
desktop environment having their own WG which basically boils down to 
status quo with spins.
