This kind of change is very disruptive and won't happen post-Beta. Also, we can't do that anyway: the reason there's a date/time spoke during anaconda at all is because on some systems the clock is completely wrong - like 30 years wrong - and that can affect some package scripts. So the spoke exists to make sure you have an opportunity to set the correct date/time prior to package install beginning. Moving the spoke to during package installation would defeat its purpose. If we didn't need to be sure date/time could be set prior to package install on some systems, there would be no such spoke in anaconda at all, and it'd be done at firstboot instead.
There's a solution to this. Hard code the date in the installer when the ISO is created. We know today's date and it could be set in the installer before the UI starts. Then it doesn't matter what the person's system is set to. It doesn't need to be accurate to the exact second, but the year would be accurate and that should be more than enough to pass package script checks.
