Which you'd already done elsewhere in the thread.  Several times.  No 
need to bring it up again, is all.  It's like you were looking for 
someone to get back into the flame war with.

If your first reaction had been to ask for more information instead of 
add complaints, I might have mentioned that the plan is to have this for 
F9 (I think so at least, someone can correct me if I'm wrong?).  Not 
sure if that counts as long term...

It is a reasonable request.  Can you accept reasonable answers?  Notting 
and jkeating have already replied with technical analysis explaining why 
it is not possible.  If you have more knowledge than they do about the 
crazy way anaconda and comps works, and can refute their knowledge, 
please do on technical terms.  Note: "I, on behalf of the KDE SIG, think 
we should be able to do this" is not technical.

Besides, we already know it's not going to happen for F8.  And F9 we 
could in theory have a better all around solution....
