Even if it is Fedora Unity's problem, Fedora Project would still have to
maintain the anaconda code that allows split media installation.

Ubuntu seems to do fine including quite a few language packs on their LiveCD
while providing a decent desktop. Unless a flat-file dpkg database makes a
huge difference to the BerkleyDB rpmdb in terms of size, there isn't any
reason that Fedora cannot make available a desktop just as functional as the
Ubuntu one (like having OpenOffice included).
