Not directly related to F28 change, but when there's anything to be
done about the language/keyboard layout selection, it'd be desirable
to make the initial selection easily revertable at least from the
subsequent installation step to prevent the need to reboot needlessly
(IIRC the same usability issue was present with Redmond's OS in the
past, making it even more nasty in install-from-harddisk scenarios):
