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) -Nathan
