This is a really interesting idea. It makes a lot of sense to involve the compose tools because it's a list of features that the distribution supports, and it gets anaconda slightly more untied from a specific version or even distribution. As we mentioned in person, pykickstart's going to have to be involved because the compose tools use it, but I don't think that's too much trouble. anaconda can ignore the command(s) to set this stuff up. That part should be really quite simple. Incidentally, I still hate the .buildstamp lack-of-format. We've got glib and it has a .ini-style config parser. I'd like to be able to move to a format with more structure. .treeinfo is already like this but in stage2. > It's probably best to work on that as a separate feature independent of this.
