We already have a "--location" arg that gives an installation tree
location, and a --cdrom arg that gives an ISO image local path (historically
it would allow a URI too IIRC).

I'm wondering if there's a need to combine all these different ways to
specifying the install tree/media location into a more general purpose
arg
