This seems a pretty inarguable trend to me: there is much more of a
vertically integrated GNOME stack in Fedora than there ever used to be.
We are replacing the generic Fedora firstboot with gnome-initial-setup,
for GNOME installs. GNOME has been systematically attempting to replace
system-config-* with environment specific changes.

I don't necessarily think this is a *bad* Thing, but it is definitely a
Thing. There is a definite trend towards our default live image and
package set becoming a lot more GNOME-y and a lot less Fedora-y.
