I have no problems with turning off the first boot if it genuinely
doesn't add any value. I think they keyboard is probably the big one
that comes to mind. It also allows adding of users and I think from
memory configuring of ntp, submitting a smolt profile and likely few
other bits that I'm missed. Most of which are likely not a major
problem on SoaS install scenario.

There's been a discussion on fedora-devel about changing the sudo
defaults in Fedora for F-14. I haven't watched the discussion closely
but you might want to review it and contribute to that discussion to
ensure the Sugar community is represented.
