Aren't many of the problems that this is designed to circumvent going to
be solved with anaconda becoming aware of extras and updates during install?
That won't happen for FC5 -- this time around we're revamping the
internal package handling code to use yum, with the aim of making it
*possible* to do something like this. But the actual support for
non-Core repos in the installer probably won't be until at least FC6.
(There are quite a few other changes for FC5 as well, of course)
