This isn't the problem. We have the Fedora Workstation environment group for

@fedora-workstation and @gnome-desktop are package groups.
So there's an argument to be made that perhaps @fedora-workstation should go
away and be replaced by @^workstation-product-environment entirely.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but to me the duplication of @fedora-
workstation and @gnome-desktop is dumb and needs to go away. @^workstat
ion-product-environment (the env group) should use one package group as
'all the main GNOME desktop packages' and anything Workstation-y should
include the the env group, anything just GNOME-y can include the
package group.
I think we went over this on IRC, but I am rather suspicious of the
original "bug". If the system has the workstation-product-environment
env group installed, so long as the real package group is part of that
env, stuff shouldn't get removed on a dnf upgrade. If it does, that's a
clear bug in dnf, but I don't think it actually does. The "bug" in
question does not actually appear to have been reported anywhere we
could find.
