Not really - this is new with GDM-on-Wayland. In F21, GDM would run on
tty1 then hand off to the user session, also on tty1. Other desktops
sometimes still ran on tty7, but in all cases, the DM quit after
starting the user session, and tty1 went back to being a text console.

With GDM-on-Wayland, GDM continues running after spawning GNOME, which
now runs on tty2; this is why you have both tty1 and tty2 occupied.
