I did this at BU, on request from several perl developers here. And I've
gotten positive feedback about "all the perl modules you include" -- even
though we have very little that's not in Extras.

But, personally, I find it annoying, because if I'm doing an install and
accidentally check that box, it takes, like, five minutes for Anaconda to
compute the implications.
