Yes but I want in the official repository as an update. Fedora 11
Anaconda has been troublesome for many people due to the storage layer
rewrite. It would have been nice to avoid that issues in the first place
but since we are never going to be perfect, the next best thing would be
to push Anaconda updates into the repository so that people do images
with the updates rolled in can get it without going through Yet Another
Place.

Usually whenever I do a remix, one of the first questions I get is from
people who are using my kickstart file to do something slightly
different (change the package set, configuration et all). There is a
large number of people who would benefit from this.

Either Anaconda team has to do this by itself or if the workload is high
(which I assume it is), give other people commit access to push it into
the official repository as updates. Given that someone has volunteered
to do the work, our job would be to enable that to happen instead of
being a roadblock.  The need now is more than ever thanks to the growing
success of the push from the Fedora Project for spins and remixes.
