Anything beyond that is a pollution of the process IMO.
Our customers want an "hands-off" install; an install which can be customized to a point where the system reboots and nothing needs to be done. "Visual panels" do not work when you need to install 100s of systems. The fact that you are required to configure a system after it is installed is a bug. Any system which requires post-install configuration is broken to a point that is not usable.
