This only works if the install is guaranteed to happen in the same
transaction. As we have discussed elsewhere, this is only true if you
have a single media of whatever type and the package layout is
consistent. I'm sure this is probably fine, but before lots of this
happens it might be worth codifying what guarantee of transactions and
ordering is actually being given.
For example, if Anaconda will always undertake to install "certain
kernel related stuff from this comps group" at the same time, and if the
comps are smart enough to have the media laid out just right, cool. If
however, this might break on CD installs because ordering could randomly
change, then, not so cool.
