Doubtful we'll see LXDE in the official repos. [1]  See the note at the
previous link about Openbox packages.
LXDE is something that EPEL or other repos might package to supplement the
official package selection.

As an off-hand comment, EPEL has a fluxbox RPMs.  Lightweight window
manager nonetheless ... if you're looking to compromise.
