All right, so it takes 8 clicks instead of 1 click to 'install everything' now...not a big deal. What you don't get from the bugzilla entry but can get from parsing the developers list is that they are trying to shed packages from Fedora Core and push them out to 'Extras' and make 'core' truly just the core and 'install everything' is less valuable as they succeed in doing that. What you don't get if you don't read the developers list is what is that they don't even agree on what is meant by 'install everything' - where some might interpret it to mean every package, others thought it shouldn't include every language pack under the sun for every package and as you consider the impact of this, you begin to get the point...'install everything' was never really clear about it's purpose at the outset.
