Yes we are going to need something similar in principle. A goal is to
provide opportunity for fully unattended installations, as well as
opportunity to configure any feature in the distribution before installation
takes place. May seem like I lost my marbles, but if you're faced with the
task of rolling out a couple of hundred nodes with linux on it then this
feature is something that adds real value.
