liveusb-creator was indifferently maintained for a long time. Luke found
some time to make it not suck again in the last cycle, because he's
awesome, but he's also very busy - I'd want to see someone commit to
liveusb-creator as one of their primary responsibilities (i.e. high on
their priority list when push comes to shove) before we bet the farm on
it. For instance, it couldn't write a UEFI bootable stick until F19 or
F20.
