It's quite easy to move them around and I'd encourage people to think
about how this should work and to move/rearrange/change anything if it
doesn't seem right. With regard to your specific questions, hostname and
network config are separate only for the reason that they seemed to me
like separate tasks. The root password and add users tasks are separate
for a better reason, which is that they both are invokable separately
from the menu at the end of installation and usually I use that just to
add more users and would be annoyed if I also had to reset the root
password. (Network config is also available at the end menu)
