I never said anything about packing up toys or removing anything. I am saying discussion is not productive and not getting anywhere. No toys being packed up, just choosing to play with our other toys.

Hi,
Here's my 2c take on it. GDM isn't the only Display manager. If the gnome project doesn't want to do what we want in terms of a logo on the DM then let's move to lightdm or one of the others and theme it however we want.
Well hang on now. There's a huge overlap between the fedora desktop people and gnome people. Like I said earlier, we all where multiple hats.
This clearly isn't a "fedora desktop" versus "gnome" fight here. It's just a technical disagreement between specific individuals. And that's fine. We don't all have to agree one every detail as long as we agree on the general direction.
And we can resolve technical disagreements through discussion. We don't need to pack up our toys and go home or whatever.

My point is the lion share of the people who actively work on the desktop-y parts of the fedora desktop spin are also upstream gnome developers, so seriously suggesting "we" (the fedora desktop developers) stop using gnome in the login screen to get around a disagreement some subset of us are having with ourselves doesn't make sense.
It doesn't solve anything. If we switched to LightDM the same problem could potentially crop up. Some of us on the team will want a logo and some of us won't. Some of us will want the logo one place, some of us will want it somewhere else. Same stalemate different setting.
