Even the fedup maintainer is unclear about this.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214255#c1

In the comment he considers Fedora 21 KDE a product. Yet in the code
it's considered nonproduct:

"Nonproduct: choose this if none of the above apply; in particular,
choose this if you are using an alternate-desktop spin..."

And then the fedup FAQ likewise suggests always using --product,
including the example.

So really it's sounding like --product is required for Fedora <= 20
upgrades; and is prohibited for Fedora >= 21 upgrades.

I have it, but I did an inadvertently weird install with Workstation
netinstall which defaults to minimal install, not Workstation (that's
a bug, I haven't filed it). So after that got done and I rebooted, I
used 'dnf group install "Fedora Workstation"'
