I don't think the WG has any plans to alter the low-level command line
tools in Fedora, so what you describe should be possible.  Actually
removing the default DE would likely result in you running something
the WG wouldn't consider Workstation, but it should be possible.  If
you want to use a DE other than the one Workstation picks for the
basis of the product, you might be better off just using a Spin in the
first place.
