We have 300 Fedora machines in our department and they all get re-imaged every 6-months for the next release of Fedora. So, a user could potentially have to select their session 600 times per year :) Besides, they can't be expected to recall which machines they have logged in to. For all practical purposes they have to do it every time.

There doesn't appear to be an AccountsService mailing list but perhaps it would be better to file a bug report upstream?
Between this and the fact that the "user list" feature cannot be disabled, GDM is basically unusable in distributed environments. I suppose we should all just accept this and start using a different session manager or else start contributing to GDM upstream.
