There's something to be said for that, however I think hiding it in the
Anaconda options will virtually guarantee that most people, keen to try
out their shiny new F11, simply won't see it.

I tend regard Anaconda options as a last resort, e.g. for when your
machine won't boot the installer because of some video driver problem.
