I generally agree with you and John about minimal installation. I also
prefer to install as few packages as possible but if there is an option
to install all that goodies it should work or it should be removed from
anaconda. Maybe anaconda should really focus on minimal but complete
Fedora installation which includes text only and full DE enabled systems
without additional tools like Inkscape, GIMP or whatever isn't required
to boot and allow user to run yum install command.

I think that this issues are only temporary and in final release they
get fixed.
