Well if I can somehow put librpm/libarchive extraction code and blkid based hw detection there, I'd say it is possible. It would very probably still have to stay coded in C for space (no Python..) and complexity (no Bash..) reasons.

We can do lot of stuff with network, but I suppose Dracut should support all the network booting magic anyways, because it's Dracut who handles that after install reboots.

I agree, we might still need some simple QA system there though as we need two (very simple) selection dialogs in DD code.
