The requirements for the installer is more than any desktop environment in Fedora making Fedora not really a good choice for lower end systems anyway.
It's not quite that bad. I was able to do a succesful install of f20 (games spin which is based on XFCE) on a laptop with 500 MiB of memory. Gnome also needs a more powerful video card than some other desktops. So while I agree that Fedora isn't the best distro for low resource machines, there is still an area where it is usable on the lighter weight desktops, but not gnome.
