There's a new self-contained change planned for the upcoming Fedora 26 Linux distribution, due for release on June 6, 2017, namely a new flavor built around the lightweight, Qt-based LXQt desktop environment.

The default desktop environment of Fedora Linux is GNOME, which is used on the Workstation edition, but users can also download the GNU/Linux distribution with the KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE, MATE-Compiz, Cinnamon, and Sugar desktop environment from the official Fedora Spins website.

Users were able to install the latest LXQt desktop environment from the official software repositories since Fedora 22, but now that LXQt proved to be a more mature product, it could be included as an officially recognized spin. Best of all, it looks like it won't replace the existing Fedora LXDE spin.
