The login screen is fine, if it just comes up on your laptop display you can
still login, however the active desktop session is a different story.

You are enabling something that is known broken and removes features from users.

Desktop rotation doesn't work for starters. This is a pretty basic feature that
I know lots of people use. You've just enabled a regression by default for all of
these people. This isn't what rawhide is for. If someone reports the regression
in a bug will you revert this feature.

Maybe trialing GNOME on wayland as the default is premature but removing the option
on login to use GNOME on X is definitely. As such I respectfully ask you put that
option back in rawhide.

If you still disagree, I'll probably have to spend time I could spend working on
stuff, taking this through some Fedora process I haven't had to deal with.
