Or do you mean my question asking for an opinion about this matter. In
that case be carefull not to call users dumb.
I meant the "Do you want to use NetworkManager or network?" question.

This is a non argument because in this respect you could strip a lot of
code from anaconda because it can all be handled in the %post section.
The plus of anaconda handling this is that users wil not have bother
coding it themselfs. And I do not consider the choice between network
and NM that extreem that it is justifiable to have users put it in %post.
If you haven't noticed, the trend over the last few releases has been to
move as much out of anaconda as possible. It does ask a heck of a lot
less now, mostly just things necessary to complete the installation, not
a whole lot of questions about how the system should work after it has
been installed.
