Sure, but that's not how we selected desktops - we had install classes
that had tasks (as much as they sucked). There were people who just
did a kickstart with:

%packages
gnome-desktop
%end

but those people got what they asked for.

defining the metadata that should be driving this screen, as I don't
think this sort of logic belongs in anaconda proper. Am I misunderstanding?
