Hold on: Rahul pointed out on that two month old -devel thread that the decision was nothing to do with him. Somebody who actually wrote the code is making the decisions about what is in and out AFAIK, and that's not anybody who has commented on this thread and probably not the -devel thread AFAIK. The people against the everything button were generally arguing from an architectural standpoint against encouraging people to install everything, and perhaps from a feeling to hold the party line. But there's no real argument for making it *hard* to select or clear many checkboxes and I assume we'll see that fixed, allowing easy emulation of the lost functionality (minimal too) in an intuitive way. It's open to anyone to respin FC5 CD1 with an installer that has whatever buttons they like and offer it in a torrent. I know that is a big hump, but the size of that hump is indicating the value we get from RHAT doing it... just something to bear in mind when slinging complaints around. -Andy
