I just think it's a good idea and it's the best and shortest
way to
build a clean and up to date system out of a fresh install.
So I was thinking - perhaps it, or something equivalent - could be added
as the last step to firstboot. Perhaps as a popup, informing the user
that the system will apply all available updates, perform some
maintenance tasks then reboot, and asking the user to either accept or
reject it.
The plan is for Future Anaconda (maybe as soon as FC6?) to be able to
actually look at the updates repo in addition to the main repo while doing a
network install, making this unnecessary.
