I can't see, how this can happen anyways. Anaconda just runs once (at
installation), afterwards it can safely be removed (correct me, if I'm
wrong).

Could you please explain, why this should be useful for all our users? I
think it's more sensible to install, when running on VMware. And also:
why do you require this at all?

How does this work together with VMwares hint, to remove open-vm-tools
distributed by linux distributions at all?
