That can be the only resolution in bugzilla but that shouldn't deter
anyone nor should anyone conclude that it isn't useful to open a new
bugzilla entry.
It is the one and only meaningful way to provide feedback by the users
to the developers.
My estimate was that there were about 10 people who wanted the 'install
everything' option in anaconda. According to a quick perusal of the
above links, there were less than 10.
Doubt that. This is the fourth time this discussion has come up on this
list in the past few months. Each time it has generated more e-mails than
any other topic. It was bugzilled and closed as not a bug. Probably right
as it's not really a bug it's a usability feature.
I did an install yesterday and it took the entire day to get the
"everything install". Do the base install selecting as little as
possible, configure the yum repos, do the everything install, do the
updates. I'm thinking of a few months time when I have to install 200+
machines. And I need the everything install because I can't tell a
student what environment, Gnome or KDE, to use what browser, mailer etc
to use.
It was a useful feature.

Thus a reasonable conclusion is that those who feel that the removal of
the 'install everything' option in anaconda are statistically
insignificant.
