There never *was* a n00b friendly mode for rescue. You've always had
to know the secret incantation to put on the cmdline to boot anaconda.
Speaking as a real, actual enterprise user, I've used anaconda rescue
mode exactly.....ZERO times in the last year. If I have a system that
for whatever reason won't boot, even in current RHEL, I find it *much*
easier to just boot with init=/bin/bash and go about fixing things.

In newer Fedora, this becomes even easier with rd.break providing even
more functionality. My personal view on rescue mode, even if it were
to be completely absent from F18, would be "oh well".
