While this is a concern, I'm not sure it's a concern for the default
suggestions given by sysinst.  The installer should allow for different
configurations since no one configuration will fit all needs.  There's
a good argument, though, that the defaults should be reasonable for the
widest class of users--whatever that is.

I'm not sure tech-kern is the right place for this.
