Found it:

  $ rpm -ql fedora-release-workstation-31-1.noarch
  /usr/lib/os-release
  /usr/lib/swidtag/fedoraproject.org/org.fedoraproject.Fedora-edition.swidtag
  /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/80-workstation.preset
  /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.gschema.override
  /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.rules

  $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/80-workstation.preset
  #
  # Fedora Workstation
  #

  # disable sshd socket by default on workstation
  disable sshd.socket

  # disable sshd service by default on workstation
  disable sshd.service

  # enable cups on-demand socket activation by default on workstation
  # https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/8
  enable cups.socket
  enable cups.path
  disable cups.service

So I would say we don't need to concern ourselves with it.
