Will the spoke's label have some text like "No security profile selected" or somesuch when that's the case? Presumably the "Begin Installation" is insensitive until the "Security Profile" spoke is happy, like how other spokes work? I like the overall idea, but I'm slightly nervous about the UI. How, if at all, do security policies affect the UI in the *other* spokes? (sorry, I wasn't able to view your videos on this box, just the screenshots). For example, if you have a security profile which mandates that /tmp be on a separate partition or logical volume, does this affect the UI in the partitioning spoke? Similarly, if the profile forbids package "telnet" from being installed, does this show up somehow in the "Software Selection" spoke? (e.g. what if the user tries to manually select "telnet" within that spoke?). Likewise, does the Profile's password complexity requirements affect the password UI? Or is it a case of: review the issues listed in the "Security Profile" spoke, and figure out "how do I fix this?", switch to the appropriate spoke, try to fix it, see if the Security Profile spoke is now happy, else repeat. That seems suboptimal, though what you've got may well be good enough for a first iteration (and I'm not volunteering to hack on it, so feel free to ignore me ;) ). Hope this is constructive; as I said, I like the proposal.
