Fedora Workstation install difference between Workstation Live vs. Everything netinstall

At Changes/HiddenGrubMenu - Fedora Project Wiki you can read:

This new auto-hide functionality will be automatically enabled on new Fedora Workstation installs.

This is:

Is this difference expected behavior or a bug?

As far as I could find out:

  1. the difference is due to /var/run/anaconda/anaconda.conf (not part of ISO; gets created dynamically when Anaconda installer starts)
  2. some parts are provided by package anaconda-core (Anaconda - Fedora Project Wiki); in installed system it is “/etc/anaconda/product.d/fedora-workstation.conf”
  3. the full difference of /var/run/anaconda/anaconda.conf between Live and netinstall is:
$ diff Live netinstall
