No, we don't believe that imposing that burden on every single person on
every install is a net benefit. Indeed, the project's experience is that
very few people need to explicitly configure an MTU.
So, for those that need it, well, to quote all of the INSTALL.<platform>
files:

If any question has a default answer, it will be displayed in brackets
("[]") after the question. If you wish to stop the installation, you may
hit Control-C at any time, but if you do, you'll have to begin the
installation process again from scratch. Using Control-Z to suspend the
process may be a better option, or at any prompt enter "!" to get a shell,
from which "exit" will return you back to that prompt.

So, you can use '!' to get a shell where you enter the necessary ifconfig
command, and you can of course tweak the install before rebooting.
