That's just splendid.
You're sacrificing flexibility and user choice for what you think is the 
right way to do things
and accommodate for the least common denominator which is someone 
without any network, and if they
had a network, not enough bandwidth to surf the web for a month in 
general use cases.

This simply is not Kadischi's goal.
Kadischi will allow you to build and install from a LiveCD with a 
diverse package set.
As much as Anaconda allows.
In the LiveDVD case there is no downloading anything duplicate.
