Well, anything installed from main will be supported, but the GNOME LiveCD
will include a bunch of stuff from universe, which are not supported. The
meta-packages don't really impact the supportability of the install, and
even with them installed, it'll still have a bunch of universe stuff on it.

So, maybe a little bit of prose to explain that some of the software is not
supported by Ubuntu is all we need.
