Perhaps - but why has such an arbitrary change and choice been made with 
zero data? I'd be shocked if more than one developer actually uses the

If another environment provides a better experience, then it should 
certainly be presented as at least an equal choice during the install 
instead of later finding out that you had to download some other disk or 
roll your own to get it.
