So the change is actually already being implemented without approval? This 
kind of forcing facts turns the whole change policy to the absurd.

As I understand it, dropping support in Lorax affects both livemedia-creator 
and livecd-creator, so the only way forward to build ISOs that actually boot 
would be to fork Lorax. Unless we can reuse some other distro's tools 
instead.

The liveinst part of Anaconda can be replaced with Calamares, but ISO 
composing (which can be done with (livemedia-creator) or without Anaconda 
(livecd-creator), but both code paths end up in Lorax eventually) is not in 
the scope of Calamares.
