But in particular it's not a good idea to use +/- symbols in the same UI for two totally different functions, because it obviously makes it difficult for instructions to distinguish between the functions.

I think it's used at present because it's the standard GTK+ widget. In
general, anaconda is trying to use stock GTK+ stuff, again with the
emphasis on maintainability - they want to minimize the use of custom
widgets so they aren't a constant maintenance cost.
