I think what David is getting at is that we would like to have only one
install experience for the user.  Right now, we have two install
experiences -- the first when you run anaconda, the second when you hit
firstboot.  In the managed desktop case (enterprise workstations) the
install is split between the admin who does the install on the machine
and the enduser does the 'install' by setting up accounts/timezones.
David is proposing to merge those for the desktop spin.

It's a bit aspirational, and there's a lot that should be cleaned up in
firstboot first.  But I think it's a good experience, too.

Thanks,
