g-d-p doesn't run in console mode, so you can't use it for recovery. It
also can't really be run non-interactively. g-d-p also can't select an X
driver.

(just pointing out ways in which g-d-p is not equivalent to s-c-d; we
should consider if we need to fix these or declare them deprecated. We
should check if there's anywhere else within Fedora that s-c-d is used
programmatically, since I removed one - from livecd-tools - only
recently.)
