Anaconda and first boot have enough issues, adding an attempt to burn the 
downloaded files might be a bit ridiculous.  I wouldn't mind if they cached them 
all post install in an easy to access way though, and let you then burn it once 
the machine is up and running.  You have a kickstart file already created from 
the choices you made during install, and all the files should be there to work with.

But doing it integrated in anaconda is probably not such a good idea, installs 
fail often enough as is.
