That in itself isn't a bad thing but it will create inconsistencies in the site. For example on:

Right and with good reason - it's more accurate. The installers can run in either graphical or text modes interactively (and silent mode in fact).

server environments including bare metal, 

virtual environments, and public, private, and hybrid clouds.

Consistency is good - except when it is inaccurate. That is not good for the community.
