The thing is, if you're spinning your own distro then you should be
able to figure out how to rebuild the anaconda RPM out of current CVS.
The last time I had to do it it took only a few additional minutes to
build an anaconda with fixes, along with other packages (kudzu in this
case) that needed updates.

The problems crop up when the current development version becomes
unsuitable for installing a current tree (as happened with the switch
to yum).  At that point it might be nice if the anaconda developers
would consider checking any critical fixes into the release branch for
those of us who regularly respin our distros, but I don't see the
point in actually doing releases.
