- installation time is not linear with the size to install. It grows
slower with big installs.

- moreover many packages are dangerous, doing various things you would
not want.

- if you really want a "Install All", you can have it quite easily
after install.

- RedHat has (very) few packages which explain why "Install All" is no
such big deal for them (hell, they don't even have "rxvt" anymore!)

- we've trolling on the choice to have services on by default. Cf
cooker archives

- only services that have a useful default configuration are on by
default
