I unsure if I agree or not, but one things seems obvious to me: The
current solution doesn't satisfy a lot of people (actually "it confuses
people" might be the the better description).
And so did the "minimal" offerings of past.
So if there are people
that want to work out a better solution please let them just do that; if
you think that clutters the UI then bring that point up; but just
repeatably stating that it's hard to pick the "minimal package set"
doesn't bring us any further.
I've stated over and over again that you're welcome to try. I even
pointed out that Comps is the place to do it, and that is even open for
commit access. So far, I haven't seen any real discussion or changes
there.

Sounds yet again like you want to shoot the discussion down, as you make
it sound like getting things into anaconda is something totally
impossible.
Not at all. However this particular thing I don't see a lot of chance
of getting in, at least not in the previously suggested ways.
But luckily Fedora and anaconda are open-source projects;
As I stated.
Red Hat even opened RHL/started Fedora to give the community a chance
to
influence and improve things like that. So give them a chance to do
that; yes, it's maybe won't be easy to realize with a clean UI, but I'm
optimistic it's possible somehow.
Isn't that why I said to go through the anaconda upstream and
maintainers to get such a change in?
