I haven't given it much thought but it surely would be possible to use a
post-installation script to do something like
sed -i 's/rhgb quiet//g' /boot/grub/grub.conf
to remove them

I agree and I'll have to try this. However as I recall (dimly) there are
some changes to the install that are finalized after the post-install
section, which is why I prefer the up front, deterministic approach when
I can get away with it!
