Intentional. We recommend using redhat-config-packages if you have
additional software to install not covered by the component groups
screen. We're going to a model where everything interesting (as the
designer of the comps file deems it) has to be in a component group in
the comps file. I think it makes more sense for interactive use to get
through the install quickly w/o alot of questions and then use a tool
designed for the task (in this case, redhat-config-packages) to complete
the operation.
You can still turn on individual packages in kickstart as always.
OK, I like the option at install time but doing it post install should be OK
too. However, this "change" should be mentioned in the RELEASE-NOTES which
it does not appear to be (at least where I looked under installation).
It might also be nice if there was an option under firstboot to take invoke
the package installer to do this.
