That really depends on what use cases we see for our live cds. In my
view, there's really only two:

The primary use for a live cd is to install.

And then, there is a secondary use where you want to review or test
without the intention to keep a permanent install.

Anyway, we can easily arrange things so that the installer does not get
autostarted anymore once you tick the 'No thanks, just playing'
checkbox.
