exactly why you fedora core *aims* to provide only one type of
software in each category.

close enough. the core system wouldnt be a minimalistic system like
what debian installation would get you. It will just not provide many
different browsers and image viewers and so on

yum already can fetch and install stuff from different repositories
and a gui is being planned(gyum broke)  afaik.

what fedora can do is provide a rationale when making choices. that
kind of questions should be into fedora-devel list thou

what you can do is debate the changes when they are proposed in
fedora-devel(it was already done for gthumb)  and  quitely install
your favorite software from the repos if your favorite stuff get
removed *after* the discussions
