That's just the way we implemented it. The driving force behind these decisions was to make things simple for the user. When presented with check boxes at this point, we found most users would either (a) leave the default choices in place and continue or (b) check them all for fear of missing something.
Also, by having the the tasks be explicit lists of groups, as opposed to sets of groups that can be combined on top of some nebulous 'common' set of groups, you:
- don't have to have weirdness with where you specify that common set of groups - can define a minimal install sanely in the same context
