Now take the general case of all interactive installs. If we accept that the
end user, in general, does not have the expertise to decide on the details
of the security policy, how does exposing it in the installer in this way
help?  You'd need a much more clearly defined description of the policies,
delination of them by use cases, and so on - speak to the user in terms that
they understand. Having it done by URLs (hey, are we checking the
ceritficate on that https server?), or by a low/medium/high distinction
doesn't appear to be the right paradigm.

I agree; my earlier mail contained what I think might be reasonable end-user choices to expose.  But that's essentially talking about the site using a modified repo, not a vanilla Fedora.
