That's excellent news when "FC7T1" e.g. did not even include "gcc".
That's because its a desktop cd and space is not infinite.
I do not know about other users, but in my case, only about
[downloaded] 100 MB of packages from "Fedora Extras" are part of my
default setup, whereas I certainly have about 85% of the "Core" packages
installed [the remainder is essentially composed of "KDE" related
packages]. This makes me really wonder if removing the distinction
between "Core" and "Extras" was a worthwile task [whereas I fully
welcome the use of a unified build system for both]. Doubling the volume
of the distribution to increase package coverage [by usage] by less than
10% still seems questionable to me, especially when the impact on
install media distribution ["bittorrent"] is so severe.
You have to taken into consideration the general case. Not just yourself.
