Yes, I've seen notes in that direction and discussion on the buildsys
list. It's there in F9, so I'll take advantage of it while I can, and
revisit on the next rebase.

It is not clear to me how the anaconda team will support installs on
embedded systems over serial port. And I have to keep that in mind for
some of the HW options we have for the XS.

It must support both kickstart-driven (for deployments) and
interactive (for developers and pilot sites mainly). The interactive
needs are not very complex (partitioning mainly) so as long as a
limited text mode remains, we're ok...
