I have a similar issue actually, but the other way around:

Fresh F21 beta workstation install. I tried to install KDE using dnf,
but fedora-release-workstation and fedora-release-nonproduct conflict.
If I try to remove fedora-release-workstation, dnf replaces it with
fedora-release-server which gets me back to the same state really. Is it
impossible to install other DEs along the workstation at the moment
using dnf?

I'm assuming yum shell should be able to help here, but dnf doesn't have
such a feature yet - I also don't expect a normal end user to resort to
yum shell. Do the different fedora-release-* packages have to conflict?
Can't I be running a workstation product and a server product and
miscellaneous bits (a union, rather than the current apparent mutual
exclusion)? This must've been discussed before, I just can't find the
discussion.
