I guess it all depends on what the objective is.
One can sit around and RTFM and play with oneself or one can get on with 
the task at hand, in this case learning a telephony application and ITs 
warts and shortcomings.

There is no harm in  installing  an extra thousand or two files that are 
never needed and services that aren't run or used
Disk space is REALLY cheap, in fact most of the hardware is these days.

Time is valuable. everyone has a limited amount of it, so why waste 
hours or days of it because one file wasn't installed.
If you want to discourage potential users of Asterisk, not installing 
the complete distro is a wonderful way to do it
