Most of the Gnome developers probably are not Fedora users anyway,
and why should they care which distro people use ? Similarly from a
commercial perspective 'what's the business case ?'

As to distro switching - yes it isn't hard, and the desktop switching
option in Fedora is even easier.

yum groupinstall "XFCE"
set your desktop at gdm

End of problem
