It seems ugly to implement an esoteric command line parameter that changes
the behavior of the Fedora installer.  If the capability is valuable, it
should be part of the new user interface, and the installer should make a
"best effort" attempt to keep the user from shooting himself in the foot -
at least warn that this option is dangerous, and demand confirmation this
is what the user really wants to do.

>you get a non-bootable install.

Actually, one reason a user might choose to put the Fedora bootloader
elsewhere than the MBR is to insure his existing boot process remains
intact, in the event the new Fedora installation fails to boot, or fails to
find and successfully boot his other operating systems already installed.
