I've opened a PR which restores gdm/X11 support at: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdm/pull-request/28#
It builds, I'll be able to test it in a few hours, but anybody is free and welcome to give it a try once the scratch build finishes.

An unapproved major change was done and yes, that is what should be
done.

Wait, what?! The unapproved change must be reverted as soon as possible.
Otherwise the Change process becomes a joke. The big change was done
without approval, so it doesn't matter if it was noticed late or not.

No and no. GDM maintainer must take responsibility, even if applying the
unapproved change was unintentional, and revert it now.
