Fedora Medical is still not available in a spin form, however, you

Just for the sake of interest as a Debian user (I never touched any
other Linux distribution since my bloody beginners days with slackware):
What does the page you quoted really mean? There are some Depends
listed but some of them are striked out. It's a bit unclear to me what
I finally get.
Does the metapackage technique exist in Fedora? In Debian you have some
comparable (hmmm perhaps not, I'd regard it more informative but I'm
biased) web page which tells the user what is inside Debian Med
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/
and if you follow those links you get an overview about what we call
tasks. Everything which is listed in green color can be installed with
one click / command line by installing the according metapackage (there
is one metapackage per task as it is listed on the overview page above
because all the web pages are generated out of the same data as it is
used for creating the metapackage). I have no idea whether this
principle might work under Fedora, but at least the Debian Med project
was growing while using this technique step by step without having some
real separate "release". The user just installs Debian and the med-*
metapackages he needs on top of it.
Kind regards
Andreas.
