What was the point of the metapackage, originally? To install ALL

To ensure that (for most cases), all drivers are installed and continue
to be updated as new drivers are added. That way, if someone changes
out their video hardware, they don't get hosed by not having the driver
available.
Would it make sense for Anaconda to detect a laptop and only install the
driver the system needs?
Not really, because you don't necessarily know what I need. I could be
installing onto a removable hard drive, for instance. I could be doing
one install and then cloning to a bunch of other machine. And it would
suck for virt, too.
