You still need to create the cd.
You still need to provide the cd which my guess is cant be done on 
fedoraproject.org

That would be the ideal solution that if you have internet connection 
you could getting it from there or just
choose it in Anaconda ( User provided with some disclaimer accepts it, 
his responsibility viola ),
Guess legal has problem with that other wise I guess it would have been 
implemented already..

Regarding adding more cd's or *additional cd's* I think is step backwards.
 ( Any one remembering happy multi floppy diskette time  
debian/slackware what was it around 10 -15 diskettes
But then again I could be the only one who expirienced Bad Sectors 
through out the years. )
