It was decided to be removed due to all the bugs we were getting because people had different ideas as to what "everything" actually meant. Some felt "everything" meant all packages possible. Some felt "everything" meant all packages excluding all the language packages for unselected languages. Some felt "everything" meant all possible multilib packages, some felt it didn't. Clearly we weren't going to satisfy everybody with an 'Everything' option so it was removed so that folks can pick their own vision of "Everything". -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
