My opinions.
Once a user gets their computer running on Fedora, is there any reason to keep anaconda and its associated dependencies ?
No. Not anaconda as it is for installing fedora, but some of its dependencies might be used by other programs you do want around. As I found below, there were no dependencies when I tried to remove it.
Is there any reason to delete it ?
No. It doesn't take much disk, and the effort to delete it is effort. I just tried it, and there were no dependencies, and the space saved showed as zero.
Is there any reason to update it everytime it updates ?
No, but in the grand scheme of updates, this is hardly noticeable. One firefox or office-libre update probably does for a lifetime of anaconda updates. If space or download bandwidth is critical for you, and you are of Ben Franklin's persuasion, and believe a penny saved is a penny earned, then your answer would be yes. Or, if your philosophy is 'just take care of the pennies, and the dollars take care of themselves', you would answer yes.
