The point here is that both authconfig and firewalld are used by anaconda to
configure the installed system, via either the old code (pre-F18) or the
kickstart code (older releases, and F18+). anaconda would need to grow more
complicated checks to ensure that certain things weren't set in the install
before laying them down.

You filed a bug about that, actually... I'll respond here and paste there.

plymouth was added to the minimal install as a consistent method for
handling encrypted passphrases and boot-time logs at the time. Since this
has moved out into other components since then, it can be reconsidered.

There's something to be said for having a consistent boot-time interface
though, rather than one that changes whether or not plymouth is installed.
