It wouldn't be blocking, just like we wouldn't be blocking on any other piece of
available software not working for a given release.

I think creating a UI for this isn't one bit useful. It would probably be
better served
by separate spins (which joins up with the discussions currently on
fedora-devel).
I mean, where would we stop for this? Allow changing the display manager from
the UI?
Making sure that those desktops can actually work with Wayland when GNOME and
gdm
switches to that?
It would severely limit the changes we can make to the workstation product,
having it
block on the non-primary desktops, a current problem we're trying to solve.
