That can be the only resolution in bugzilla but that shouldn't deter
anyone nor should anyone conclude that it isn't useful to open a new
bugzilla entry.

It is the one and only meaningful way to provide feedback by the users
to the developers.

My estimate was that there were about 10 people who wanted the 'install
everything' option in anaconda. According to a quick perusal of the
above links, there were less than 10.

Thus a reasonable conclusion is that those who feel that the removal of
the 'install everything' option in anaconda are statistically
insignificant.
