Umm. It doesn't work like that. Installers have a lot of system
dependencies and when those dependencies change in various ways,
installers have to be modified just to keep up with the changes for
the exact same feature set.
I assume you are only referring to anaconda here or do you have any
other installer you can point to that behaves like this?
Pointing out how the installer currently works does not change my
opinion on the fact that if an installer ( any installer ) cannot run on
his own bits isolated from the package set he is about install is a
design flaw and is something that should be corrected ( from my pov ).
