Jesse,
  as a general rule I'd agree with you but a couple of problems:

1. we're going to need split media for dvds - we're SOL there anyway - so 
the code will need to live on.

2. Fedora unity can run their ship the way they want. They're not holding 
anyone hostage - if there is code that the anaconda/createrepo/etc devs 
want to put a bullet in those devs will do it. No one is blocking b/c of 
any choices made by any external projects unless the devs themselves 
choose to make it a blocker.

I think everyone needs to take a breather here.
