Anaconda requires you to get an installation image somewhere and burn
it
to a CD/DVD. A firstboot package would just add an entry to the usual
boot menu, and work even on a CD-less system. Plus a firstboot could be
split into "manage partitions" "manage lvms" ... tools, while
anaconda
only knows about update process.
On install, anaconda could copy it's own boot image and stage 2 to /boot,
and allow you to boot that later without a CD.
Bill, not very serious, but....
