There is nothing stopping anyone from packaging the Mint Gnome Shell
Extensions [1] or the MATE Desktop Environment [2] for Fedora. If you
are interested in doing so, see [3].
We support RHEL6 installations, and in addition to training time and
application
(re)development costs, people complain that switching between GUI hurts
productivity, creates typos, etc, etc. People spend time whining about it, that
definitely hurts productivity.
Whether or not Red Hat includes either of these in RHEL7 is of course
Red Hat's decision, not the Fedora community's.
