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.
Pete, do you have any comment on this? Otherwise I'm planning to roll this change back in later this week.
