Do we really need LibreOffice installed by default?

We (the team working on the Anaconda UI rewrite) explicitly excluded 
package-level selection for UX reasons (the way RPM & depsolving works 
it basically lies to users and can never meet the expectations the UI 
necessarily has to set) and I think bringing it back is a no-go. If we 
wanted to build some kind of tool for tweakers that lets you do package 
level selection and then builds an image, I think that would be the 
right way to solve that issue. Anaconda is too limited an environment 
for users to have the information they need to make informed selections 
and it's also too limited an environment to properly set expectations 
about the dep-based nature of RPM and how what you select and de-select 
in the UI doesn't mean the thing you de-selected isn't going to be 
present....

Would love for the software selection spoke to be completely hidden when 
there's nothing to choose. We hide it in live install images IIRC.
