Hi Kamil,
Not really. They could have got their install medium from an event, a
conference, a friend or a colleague, university or college... Maybe they
didn't even install the system themselves. Often someone with some
knowledge of Linux install it in their
relatives/friends/partners/colleagues/classmates laptop or computer. Also,
a person may want to try other systems or maybe they didn't know about
Spins and Labs and now they want to give them a go. Maybe they made their
install medium in another system and now what? Asking someone to borrow
them 15 minutes to make another install medium?
I always thought it was a bit strange that Media Writer is not installed by
default.
Kind regards,
Silvia

If somebody has already booted a Fedora install medium (either live or
netinst), they already know how to create it, and they already either used
FMW or didn't need it (dd etc). Why would we need to add FMW to the default
installation then? They can install any time they need it. It would just
consume more space and add some QA work (although not much because we
already test it). What's the point?
