Jesse, To be fair - gnome/kde importing something into rawhide/branched that's not finished doesn't shut down everyone else's ability to test the distro.... I think it is disingenuous to talk about another distro using anaconda - b/c the only other one that does, directly, is rhel - and they're downstream of fedora, too. That doesn't mean things can be dictated - but it does mean that breaking/delaying fedora is not something that should be done lightly. I think holding anaconda to higher standards is not a ridiculous concept. For years the requirement for yum and rpm (even in rawhide) has been 'never commit something so broken it cannot be used to revert itself'. but I'm positive that this conversation is long past the point of productivity so...
I can't disagree with this message. I'll also point out that we didn't have a lot of choices for F18. We could either leave the existing anaconda package there (which was completely broken) or import the partially functional newUI code base. We went with the option that would provide the most functionality, which was the newUI code base.
