Doesn't 'clearpart --disklabel gpt' work?
It should. IIRC at the time it
was added we didn't make GPT the default because some BIOS systems were
confused by it and refused to boot.

https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#clearpart

I don't know why we all missed it. Butt that appears to be the case.

However, the end goal is to create hybrid BIOS+UEFI cloud images via kickstart.  (Maybe down the road it could be generally useful, if/when the existing bootloader UI bits go away.)

I'll start a new thread on anaconda-devel@ about that.
