What most people complain about here is AFAICS that we completely
removed (instead of just hid) an option they valued and that was a well
tested (by them), supposedly no-brainer sort of code path, very much
unlikely to give any problems down the road.
You are thinking about this from the development perspective. The code
base is a no brainer but from the support perspective the number of
issues that a everything installation has caused is innumerous.
Specifically in Fedora, try doing a everythings installation of FC4 and
try running yum update. Watch GFS module packages fail.
