For some people. And installing everything on a DVD image makes more sense
than everything in a Fedora repo. And as I mentioned earlier if people want
that, we can recommend using a live DVD since they do install every package
that is installed on the media.

For myself I like to have lots of stuff installed both so that I see problems
(missing obsoletes and the like) that I can file bugs for and to make it
easier to find/try things when I am looking for packages that might allow
me to do a new task (or do an old one differently).

If I had somewhat more disk space, I would install everything that didn't
conflict (and there are some things that have conflicts that really should
get fixed). I don't want to tie up that much space, so I just install lots
of stuff instead of all stuff.
