Wow.  I'm just not even going to respond to this one and just let
everybody who knows what the difference between a Minimal CD and an
Universal CD snicker to themselves.  ;]

No, the LiveCD does this.  The Installer is a feature of the LiveCD.
Also, the Installer doesn't do networked installs, anymore.

No, Gentoo is about empowering the user to make choices for themselves
and providing the tools to facilitate those choices.  It doesn't mean
that we have to spend countless hours building, testing, and supporting
media that we find to be rather useless due to its *very* limited
feature set versus the LiveCD.
