My opinions.
Once a user gets their computer running on Fedora, is there
any reason to keep anaconda and its associated dependencies ?
No. Not anaconda as it is for installing fedora, but some of its
dependencies might be used by other programs you do want around. As I
found below, there were no dependencies when I tried to remove it.
Is there any reason to delete it ?
No. It doesn't take much disk, and the effort to delete it is effort.
I just tried it, and there were no dependencies, and the space saved
showed as zero.
Is there any reason to update it everytime it updates ?
No, but in the grand scheme of updates, this is hardly noticeable. One
firefox or office-libre update probably does for a lifetime of anaconda
updates. If space or download bandwidth is critical for you, and you
are of Ben Franklin's persuasion, and believe a penny saved is a penny
earned, then your answer would be yes. Or, if your philosophy is 'just
take care of the pennies, and the dollars take care of themselves', you
would answer yes.
