I unsure if I agree or not, but one things seems obvious to me: The 
current solution doesn't satisfy a lot of people (actually "it confuses 
people" might be the the better description). So if there are people 
that want to work out a better solution please let them just do that; if 
you think that clutters the UI then bring that point up; but just 
repeatably stating that it's hard to pick the "minimal package set" 
doesn't bring us any further.

Sounds yet again like you want to shoot the discussion down, as you make 
it sound like getting things into anaconda is something totally 
impossible. But luckily Fedora and anaconda are open-source projects; 
Red Hat even opened RHL/started Fedora to give the community a chance to 
influence and improve things like that. So give them a chance to do 
that; yes, it's maybe won't be easy to realize with a clean UI, but I'm 
optimistic it's possible somehow.
