Running anaconda from the command line has only ever been halfway supported

Hi,
I'm new to working on the code that allows RedHat Linux to be installed
on our hardware, so I'm not sure if this will affect us or not.
For a number of reasons, we currently have our customers boot an install
initrd that has a file named /tmp/updates/anaconda present. (It's my
understanding that if present it's used instead of the normal anaconda
binary. Has that changed?) In our case this file is a shell script that
calls the original anaconda, and performs some additional install work
after anaconda exits.
So will the change you are describing prevent this script from running
anaconda?
What release will this change likely appear in?
