To me, the point seems to be that to increase the userbase an installer that
a 10 year old could use is a Good Thing. However, there should be an option
before the installer starts up to go to a more traditional install
(/stand/sysinstall is still fine for me, because I'm used to it), or whilst
in the "magical fairies do it all for me"-installer, there should be the
ability to get a detailed amount of status information and an
"Advanced" option on the dialogues to be able to allow people to have more
control if they need it at various points. The idea of more packages being
installed and configured as a default is probably a good one too.
