There seems to be a lot of focus on third party repositories regarding
future releases.  Any possibility of adding support to anaconda for
installing these apps from a third party repository?

Perhaps a question during the install:

Would you like additional multimedia applications installed?

With an explanation that RedHat does not operate and has no control over
these third party sources.  It is your responsibility to make sure to
use them in accordance with your local laws and statues, blah, blah,
blah... ?

Mandrake used to do this with regards to encryption software.
