I've opened bug 9328 to discuss the specifics, but I think there's a minor coding principle to discuss: should we have an explicit requirement that only core modules be necessary to start the installation?

My Philippine Peso on it: Yes, only core modules should be necessary to start installation. GPML, Mark Tompsett
