Yeah I tried Fedora 26 Beta (minimal install via netinst) and Cockpit is up and running by default.
It's supposed to be like that by default according to these two sites:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CockpitManagementConsole#Summary
http://cockpit-project.org/running.html
I think it's rather handy, and it seems easier to turn it off if it's not needed, than to turn it on if it is.
I like it in non-DevOp scenarios. It's basically the same security profile as SSH, so no real concerns when SSH is also exposed.
Yup. Only thing I'd change, is the ability to use your own SSL cert during the install.
They could stick that button under the set password button.

Just did a minimal install... no working Cockpit upon first boot. Gonna try again. (this was from Netinst.iso)

@Tim_G yeah, I had no objection to it running in a minimal install, but it was surprising to see.
recently the ovirt project uses such a package set to create a virt node. something minimal a la hyper-v but with https interface.
maybe this is just the testbed for ovirt nodes, which, in turn, become the RHEV nodes.

They changed something, I did a test install just a few days ago and it was running at first boot.
I had to go through the steps to install it and everything, like add to startup and open the firewall.
In the full .ISO... the 2.8GB version (or whatever it is) it's there and working. Not on a minimal install off the netinst ISO.

I just did a side-by-side install comparison. Here are the results. The details are in the screenshots: (no Cockpit in minimal install, twice as many packages in basic)
