ignore swap.

Ignore it how?  Just don't use it during install?  Don't add it to the
fstab?  What's the use case.

Ignoring on install time. It becomes relative when the installer sees swap partitions that are being used. Might have a disk thats only swap partitions for virtual hosts. If you include that disk in an installation, anaconda will use all the swaps. see 70477.

So you're installing to a real disk on a guest system?

I'm not sure I want Anaconda poking around in there.

Any thoughts anyone to installing into a partition (say /dev/sdb2) and letting the guest use it as a whole disk.

You'd have an mbr in /dev/sdb2 which, one hopes, nobody will try to boot in the wrong context.
