Adding more options to an installer doesn't sound right to me, especially when it is already quite complicated like in the case of opensuse. This sounds more like a tuning option after install!

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed with GNOME on an AMD computer
- Gnome (no Baloo)
- AMD (no expensive Spectre mitigation)
- XFS on the whole system (no Btrfs)
So I shouldn't have any major performance reductions compared to other distros and I also don't need to change the options for Spectre mitigation, is this right?

Nice to have such options to give user ability to select fast or secure. On some servers not connected to Internet it may be really helpful.
