Martin, as I understand it the tickbox is indeed optional however at the same time, such an important feature to the desktop experience and importance to free software as well isn't a centre of attention. The current layout makes it appear to be some daft, worthless EULA. In the blog linked, the installer should have its own page with just the tickbox as an option and perhaps having a longer description by what advantages and disadvantages there are to ticking it.
