official from centos means:

Have fun watching legal and finance fight.

Also, anyone who is on the upstream anaconda and kickstart
mailing lists has seen this issue reported and debated, and
more importantly knows that anaconda is tailored to each major
release upstream.
Frankly, it is generally not worth fixing nor materially
addressing with upstream without lots of TAC interest and
firepower, as the patches be ignored, and will rot like fruit
in the hot Sun (or be refactored away as it is so closely tied
to the then underlying Python's quirks) ;)
