Right, computers don't always work, so lets give up, and go shopping right?

The inputs to the tools doing the configuration of those tools has 
changed over time.  We don't want to duplicate code by having our own 
pile of config parsers and writers, we want to rely on the same tools 
that userlands are using.

As far as Anaconda reverted in the future, I'm confused as to when/where 
this became a requirement.
