What most people complain about here is AFAICS that we completely
removed (instead of just hid) an option they valued and that was a well
tested (by them), supposedly no-brainer sort of code path, very much
unlikely to give any problems down the road. Granted we have a new
package selector in anaconda now, but I guess adding back the Everything
checkbox and code, perhaps hidden behind an "offereverything" boot
loader option (so we don't scare away unsuspecting types) can't be that
much of an effort. I'd say it would be worth the trouble, because then
we could end this discussion.
