Great! It looks like this work actually occurred the day after I wrote
my mail, so I'm going to pretend that my comment provided some of the
motivation to get transparency working. :)

But here is what you described:

"We want the installation of the Fedora Workstation to be as
straightforward and simple as possible. For the Fedora Workstation we
have distilled this down to selecting the layout of your physical media
and then pressing install. Or if you want it even easier just let the
installer choose the disk layout for you."

It sounds like you're advertising the absence of UI for language
selection, timezone selection, keyboard layout selection, hostname
selection, setting the root password, and initial user creation, all of
which are still present in the live installer. It's true that most are
optional steps, but language selection is not, and you also have to
either create a root password or a user account.

Also, the installer's user interface has changed very little since F18,
so there's really no point in advertising installer improvements as a
Fedora Workstation feature.
