the attached patches against anaconda and pykickstart add new option to the upgrade command in kickstart.

upgrade [--root-device=/dev/sda2]

The purpose is to be able to automatically upgrade systems that are dual boot. Specifying which is the root device makes upgrades more flexible.

This makes sense, but we probably want to be a little bit more flexible. In addition to specifying the device name, UUID or LABEL should be usable also. Especially as we continue to de-emphasize device naming due to its somewhat unpredictable nature.

The patches however do not resolve a bug (or a feature) where if you have upgrade in your ks.cfg and do not specify the root device anaconda will mount the first in the list:

It's a feature!  :-)
