Freedom != Choice dialogs for everything.
Our users have the freedom to install whatever desktop they like.  And
where do you draw the line? Select browser? Select texteditor? Select
calculator? Select .... ?
Most users don't give a shit about this they just want to install and
be done with it. Those who want to select something different have the
freedom to do so.
