But I think it's a good experience, too. What confuses me is that I'm not sure firstboot makes sense for any sort of 'managed' desktop - surely things like authentication, timezone, and users (on the network) have already been set up by that point? Firstboot seems more targeted for the 'home user' (ugh) who is getting a preinstalled box from some OEM. What may make sense (and also be completely unimplementable) is to structure things so that steps can be moved between firstboot and anaconda at will based on some sort of configuration.
