core+extras today is around 5000 packages iirc. This is only going to get bigger. How can possibly make sense to install every package known to man?
What makes you think the installation is pointed at a full core+extras mirror instead of a selected subset? Not everybody is stupid you know.
I wish I shared your faith in humanity. Some people _will_ see an everything button and try it on a core+extras dist. Probably more than the alternative scenario you propose.
A better solution to subsets than using 'everything' would be to use the same mechanism we'll be using for the server spin or the kde spin or whatever.
