Because it makes no sense and pushes it to the user. The os (i.e we)
should handle that. In that case we should do both 1) have lower

current implementation that is lacking. So instead of messing with
questions during the installation we should just fix that.


If the proper configuration can be determined automagically,

Well a package installer can't have the knowledge which would be required to
determine such a decision.

E.g. though a user could be connected via a fast connection he may have a
limited download contingent or could be charged at a high rate per download
volume.

I.e. I don't see a possibility but to leave the final decision to the user.

Did you even read my mail? The point is there shouldn't be a choice to
be made in the first place. Which makes "how to choose what" moot.

so how do you imagine that decision happens later?
the user deliberate makes the change?

don't get me wrong but than you have no expierience about the ordinary users, they don't do anything, even not react if someone alerts them about a hacked mailaccount abused for spam-sending over days and after security warnings about Heartbleed and "please change your passwords" another one choses his first name as new secure password

*that* is what you can expect from users and if you work in the IT and have a different expierience go out every morning and kiss them!
