There are still cases where it would be useful to install an up-to-date general purpose distribution on hardware that would be deemed "underpowered" by this definition (some of the cute little atom and other bittyboxes for e.g).
I understand that there are compromises to be made but I do think it's unfortunate if the installer will not function on this hardware. Post install you pays your money and takes your choice but if the distribution will not even install you are kinda hosed from the start.
There are other ways to install Fedora and to be clear, this is a temporary problem. Anaconda team already has patches to bring it down again which didn't get merged for Fedora 15 because the problem was discovered late in the release cycle. I am sure they would welcome any help
