Probably will be in the future. Only reason it wasn't was because I was not aware of the concern, the component wasn't listed on any of the packaging pages as should be included, and none of the testers pointed out a desire for it. One of the devs says he suggested this a while ago, but I had no awareness of the suggestion.
I'm a bit surprised this Gecko engine download is present in phase 2 rather than inside the downloader application in phase 3 as some kind of 'recommended addon'.
It might be, because that's part of the "COM registration startup" of the mshtml DLL... (just guessing here)
(and it wouldn't hurt to have that Downloader program as a desktop icon either just like CMD, so people know where to go first instead of being confronted with a fresh OS that can't do much yet, and then having to hunt for 'how can I get more programs when not even a browser is present'..they'd have to search the start menu for this Downloader program which is hidden among quite a few other programs).
The last time I looked at my ReactOS 0.3.12 desktop (1 minute ago) I saw a "ReactOS Anwendungsmanager" (free translation: "ReactOS Application Manager") which is that downloader.
