I've been largely persuaded at least between your mails and markmc
twisting my arm a little yesterday ;)
Ok.
Now, for me to try to give a little on your points-
I was thinking about what you said about "it makes anaconda depend a bit
too much on the details". Can you clarify that a bit? Specifically, I
can imagine one or two possible (but not entirely pretty) ways to change
the patch, so that it makes 0 change to anaconda, at the expense of
adding a fair amount of complexity to liveinst.sh. But I'm not sure
what your long-term vision of liveinst.sh is. I.e. do you foresee it
getting folded into anaconda at some point?
