We've already been through this a few months ago and we elected not to.
Corey's already outlined some of the reasons why.  Basically, it's trying
to fit a square peg into a round hole.

There is real code written for our current installer.  Have you looked at
that?  My feeling is you haven't.  Constructive criticism is good, but you
should at least know what it is that you're criticizing.

Also, there's nothing preventing you or anyone else from taking up this
project on their own and running with it.  If you're of the belief that
basing an installer off of anaconda is the best solution, then by all means
-- go for it.  By the same token, I hope you understand if we continue to
pursue the path we've already selected.  You're welcome to help out with
that project if you decide not to pursue your own.
