The most common user case would to install a spin with DE you want to use.
I dont think it matter much if Gnome software support installation of
evironments.
most other DE spins uses LightDM, so if you want a more lightweight DE, you
don't
install the Gnome Desktop first and then install ex. XCFE.

It would ofcause be nice if you can make a netinstall of LXDE, XFCE, Mate,
Cinnemon, KDE etc using anaconda netinst
