While I agree with you on a Qt-based frontend over a GTK-based one,
what they're doing is valuable because it splits Anaconda into a
service that lets anyone implement whatever frontends they want. If we
wound up having an enterprising developer interested in Fedora KDE to
make a frontend for Anaconda leveraging Kirigami, we absolutely could.
Will we? I don't know, probably not (at least for a while), but it
might happen someday. 😉
