The simple truth is that there are a lot of reasons for organizing

OS install so they don't have different output products.

If you want a second or third desktop environment, great. Install it
some way other than in anaconda's GUI.  I also provided two alternatives
very early on in this discussion: use kickstart for install or use the
package manager of your choice, post-install. I said this in my first or
second post on this subject. I should have ignored the follow-ups.
Hopefully next time I will.


Agreed.

I personally think we should drop the releng dvd altogether and move to a more spin specific
installation where the spins community themselves have complete control over the package selection (
if any et all ) being offered to their target user base with potentially the option for "advanced"
users to install addition packages online.

Making them especially happy when their network connection sucks or they don't have network connection whatsoever but are able to get DVD installer... They'll love Fedora for this new approach. Don't assume that everybody has 100 Mbits pipe with no caps at home.
