That would drive up the cost for redistribution. Fedora Projects ships 
CDs/DVDs to many places all over the world.

Its not about GNOME as such but providing a targeted version of Fedora 
for desktop users from a single CD. Single CD obviously limits the 
choice of a DE. We can pick GNOME, KDE or XFCE and provide the 
infrastructure for others to create their own subsets from Core and 
Extras repository. Somebody might choose a Games, Educational or even a 
Perl edition.
