Looking at the change, it's not totally clear to me, but it looks like
this is actually mainly about how anaconda is run in the installer
environment - netinst, server DVD, and ostree installer images. It's
not about live images.

I *think* anaconda would continue to run as an X app if launched from a
live desktop running on X. But it would be nice to have that clarified
in the Change scope, and any changes to how it would behave in such an
environment.
