This does indeed sound interesting.
Anaconda is one of the more complex bits of software I've worked with.
It does a lot various things with a fair bit of flexibility.
My thoughts after 20 seconds of reflection (aka, not thought through at
all):
I wonder if it might make sense to converge on something driven by a
more modern workflow and tooling? From one perspective
Anaconda/Ignition are system setup tools. Might it make sense to begin
leveraging some of the automation tools to do some of this setup? Or to
put another way: Could anaconda/ignition begin to transition into a well
defined Ansible workflow where the UI sets parameters? For as much as I
love kickstart, a YAML formatted document might lend itself to templates
and easier transition to/from cloud providers....

and the most recent ones.
Would love to do some brainstorming about how we can share more code/ideas in general; I had some specific comments towards the end.
One thing not explicitly noted there is how key Ignition is to FCOS (and derivatives like RHCOS) - having a common language that works in both bare metal as well as e.g. AWS and Azure is a big deal - and today the OpenShift 4 installer and the [machine-config-operator](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_openshift_machine-2Dconfig-2Doperator_&d=DwICAg&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=OAMtP0DWou0nlXG7Kmxo2enjXJfwb1DXS9fwcaESuTE&m=YqP9qr3liUKA6uMbUFVdpgGdPTtGp7tzGww8AahLxA8&s=k-SXz0DOZeNsrdkDpZyg244dxo6akCX9r_RzkPHRIqY&e= ) are built heavily upon it.
