As someone who often uses live media but who almost never uses it to install Fedora this would be extremely annoying compared to just booting to the live media and having some obvious way to do an installation if that is what the user wants to do without repeatedly bothering those who don't. My experience may not be ordinary, but I really think the "install from live media" use case isn't all that common compared to other uses of live media. I could be wrong, I certainly know people who do install from the live media as well. >From the options I've seen put on the table so far I would lean toward either the original "just make it easy somehow to do it from the desktop" or having it be an optional boot choice that is not the default but that has an obvious label. Making it simple to do and making it not a bother to those who don't want to install Fedora from the live media would be a win for all use cases I think.
