As a person who promotes Fedora around my city, my frustration is that anaconda is behind the released version.
I can provide a simple example. I have 4 linux installations including 1 of Fedora 18, 2 of Fedora 19 one of Fedora 20 on a computer on which there are other distributions(Fedora 19 play, and my Fedora 19 stable). Anaconda in the past always created a grub.cfg that omits one or more of the other distributions.
So, immediately after reboot, I redo the grub.cfg and amazingly, the rebuilt grub.cfg contains what was installed and the missing distributions.
Yes, we should have anaconda created from the distribution it is installing.

Well, for a start, if it isn't, we're effectively back to the old
situation that we hated, where we have *two* network management code
bases to support, *two* initrd frameworks to support, etc etc etc. For
each release we'd have the 'live one', and the old 'stable' one that
anaconda was based on.
