I added a comment to the "everything" bugzilla (but it didn't reopen it) asking to be able to right click on the top 6 items to install all of the optional packages you could get in the installer. I don't think there is a good reason to not make installing all of the packages you are allowed to select easy. Note that there are some significant things that are not in any standard or optional package, but are on the install iso(s). This includes the alternate selinux policies (Strict and MLS) and the tape drive utilities (mt-st). Perhaps another top level category for less commonly needed software could be created that would cover packages that don't cause conflicts and so wouldn't cause problems if people installed them.
