People have done it before. There are more than a few Live CD's and 
single CD distributions which are based on Fedora ( 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DerivedDistributions/ ) and yes they can 
still be useful. The magic sauce is pick a default desktop environment, 
office suite, browser, music player etc and carefully prune out extra 
dependencies by splitting out packages where necessary to strictly keep 
up with a typical user desktop. We might have to make some hard choices 
in this process but its certainly doable.
