Yeah, I guess my comments really were meant to be read as: "Since 
RedHat's not calling the shots anymore, these guys should be able to get 
the "super-minimal" install option added to Fedora's installer pretty 
easily".

Which also insinuated: "Why did they bother taking the time to make up a 
project and a website and all that rot... just work on it, finish it up, 
and submit it to Fedora and get it over with!"
