No, better would be moving install repo selection _out_ of the loader in as many cases as possible. The currently named rescue CD (ie, the iso with the first stage as well as the second stage) should really be getting better visibility. And we should probably stop building things like boot.iso. If you're wanting to pxeboot, we can then (in the loader) ask you just where stage2 is, grab it into RAM and then still do "install repo source" selection in the second stage.[1] This lets us easily handle things like mirror lists, proxies, SSL, ...
