Yes, I know, that was always the case. And "everything" meant just that.

An everything install option should had been even a must for the test
releases. There are bugs that emerge only in bad synergies of
packages.

I just installed FC5t3, clicked on any funny checkbox there was and I
get a system w/o emacs ...

BTW I found a bugzilla entry [2] which contrary to R. Sundaram's
report [1] stated that this was just due to missing yum glue and not a
permanent state:

[2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177621

Let's hope a coming rawhide cut will have this restored in one way or
another.
