Hindsight is a fabulous thing, I suspect the anaconda developers would
agree with you looking back. Its a large body of code dependent on a lots
of pieces.

And with it will go Fedora's ability to support a lot of new hardware
moving forward and I don't believe that's good for anyone. The developers
have done a lot of work to make it easily handle a vast amount of use cases
and I think its great the work they've done. The hardware is coming so its
pointless for us to stick our heads in the sand.

Besides this thread is a about beta slip. Not pros and cons of already
approved feature.
