You can set up alarms. Don't know if you can do at the ical level though

Well I suppose kde users have their own ical stack.
Anyway, there's probably room for improvement, but improving ical handling
will benefit everyone not just fedora, while a fedora-specific system will
go nowhere (as the rhn/up2date applet showed and it was way more sensitive
than Fedora schedules)

Human nature being what it is they'll click through any warning and
quickly forget about it (ie warnings are basically useless in any
wizard-like process users do next next next ok till it finishes or fails).
Also when users already have anaconda launched, it's way too late anyway -
very few will cancel install when they got to this stage. Either you do
warnings before the download stage (good luck with it) or you remind users
some time before milestones (ical way) but I don't believe in warnings in
the middle of the install process
