Thanks.

Right, I didn't add it as the kernel split itself does not technically
depend on Anaconda. But on the otherhand, I required the adoption in
the scope.

So I now added a note to the scope that it's not absolutely critical
for the actual change and added it as a soft dependency, too. I know,
we absolutely do want it (and I think the Anaconda team has already
taken the necessary steps) but technically splitting the kernel does
not depend on it.

Continuing this discussion in the other thread. :)
