Ok.

Now, for me to try to give a little on your points-

I was thinking about what you said about "it makes anaconda depend a bit 
too much on the details".  Can you clarify that a bit?  Specifically, I 
can imagine one or two possible (but not entirely pretty) ways to change 
the patch, so that it makes 0 change to anaconda, at the expense of 
adding a fair amount of complexity to liveinst.sh.  But I'm not sure 
what your long-term vision of liveinst.sh is.  I.e. do you foresee it 
getting folded into anaconda at some point?
