Why put a feature in the GUI installer to add a user to /etc/aliases for 
getting system mail messages when there isn't an MTA? Since the MTA will need 
to be installed, edit /etc/aliases at that time? This seems to add complexity 
for minimal value.

The installer does indeed already have a massive pile of options that many 
non-technical users don't care to navigate. It's even so much that technical 
users who QA the installer don't even have the time to go through all of the 
permutations to thoroughly test it.

I suggest if you're going to ask the installer team for features that you at 
least offer to write patches, but I think it's not very likely to be exposed in 
GUI, to me it sounds like an edge case request.
