These patches stil haven't been approved or rejected and the bug for the HW clock issue [1] has been approved as an F19 final exception.
Sorry, this one appears to have slipped through unread. There's an awful lot of email.
I think the idea's fine, but since you originally made the patch, a couple things in anaconda have changed that you'll need to take into account:
* All the thread name constants have been consolidated in pyanaconda/constants.py, so you should do that instead of defining in anaconda and pyanaconda/timezone.py.
* datetime_spoke.py now has the _initialize threading stuff already set up, so you can move the wait_for_time_init stuff into that method.
