interminal cd swapping with system-config-packages

I don't know if this qualifies as a bug or not (didn't see anything
quite on point in bugzilla), but a user posted something to
fedoraforum that I've noticed also: being asked interminably (so it
seems) to swap CDs when adding major packages (like the full gnome
desktop). Since the installer (anaconda?) can figure out a list of
packages to install, and install them from the CD's sequentially,
without ever having to go back to a previous CD, why cannot
system-config-packages do the same? Having to swap between cd's 1, 2,
and 3 twenty or thirty times is a joke, and strikes me as evidence of
an application that is either broke, or poorly conceived.
Should this problem be bugzilla'd?
