installing to raw whole disk device

All the bits are there to be able to online resize a live KVM guest
[1] [2] [3] [4], except for one piece.  You can't resize the root
partition table entry without rebooting so the kernel picks up the new
partition size.  By using LVM on a partition table, you can kinda hack
around this by using --setphysicalvolumesize to the pvresize command
so it ignores the old partition size that the kernel tells it, but
this is error prone.

All this could be solved by getting rid of the partition table
completely.  If only Anaconda supported installing this way:

clearpart --all --initlabel
volgroup vg00 --pesize=32768 sda
logvol / --fstype ext4 --name=root --vgname=vg00 --size=1024 --grow

Is there anyone working on support this feature?
