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.
