Hi, all.
I was wondering as to why Ananconda has no facility to overwrite a
distro already present on the target machine.
It may not be able to identify the partitions making up a distro
installation. But it does have multiple ways to either reformat
existing partitions, or destroy individual partitions, or destroy all
partitions.

How about the reuse of btrfs subvolumes?
It seems to me that the only way to do that is to delete the subvolume
and then reallocate it which is precisely what I do in my KVM
kickstart installs. I first bootup in rescue mode and delete the old
root subvolume and then reboot to do the install. I probably need to
figure out out a pre-install script which will do that.
Is this worth an RFE? I am thinking of an RFE for kickstart. I
assume (I have not tried it) that I can reuse an subvolume by first
deleting and "reclaiming" the space from a regular install.
