Installation Without Media

I appear to have been deprived of my preferred method of installation 
since Fedora 9, 'Installation Without Media' using the netinst iso.

netinst 23_Beta iso does not report any Local Standard Disks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274668

I seem to remember that there was a complaint, once, that the 
installation medium was reported under 'Local Standard Disks'. If this 
was acted on, then a very useful installation method has been precluded. 
It may have been a relevant complaint if the installation medium was a 
DVD but I do not see why one should be prevented from installing to the 
the free space of a USB stick, if that is what you want, or, most 
importantly, be prevented from installing to a single hard drive when 
you do not have a DVD writer and your machine will not boot from USB or 
you do not have a spare USB stick handy.

Is it now policy that you should not be able to install to the same 
storage hardware that contains the installer?
If so, why?
