I re-assigned that bug to gnome-shell, which is where the dependency is 
actually coming from.  There's also a dependency in 
fedora-release-workstation, which I think is more defensible but is able 
to be worked around while still keeping gnome installed (e,g. by 
replacing fedora-release-workstation with fedora-release-nonproduct).

Agreed.  There's a FESCo discussion and ruling on the feature at [1] 
which kind of fizzled out.  I think it's worth following up there and 
through the aforementioned bug to follow through with the FESCo decision 
"AGREED: Ask Workstation to rethink how to pull the package in with the 
goal of easily enabling people to opt out (+5, 0, -0) (sgallagh, 
17:47:38)"
