[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ LANG=C; yum groups list | grep -i mate
MATE Desktop

yum groups install "MATE Desktop"

Install  238 Packages (+224 Dependent packages)
Total download size: 276 M
Installed size: 928 M
Is this ok [y/N]

so it's a suers problem not one of Fedora if YOU can't install it
the 238 packages here are only because i have no single unused package
installed and do not touch any GNOME crap at all

mine has shown the opposite and i have more than 20
fedora sverers in PRODUCTION over years and using
Fedora for anything since 2006

but that is NO REASON tu use a non supported OS
maybe YOU are using the wrong distribution FOR YOU at all
CentOS 6 will have GNOME2 for many years

that does not change the fact that it is careless to use a OS which
doe snot get any security ipdates for more than a year
