In fact, this is what has been done in anaconda over the past couple of releases - Anaconda migrated from having its own boot and init infrastructure to using system-provided items such as dracut and systemd. But that's complicated work, and while you're doing that migration, you're doing a lot of arbitration as to what bits are in generic dracut, what bits are in generic systemd, and what bits remain in anaconda. And during that process, you are *very* tied to the version of the underlying system, until the work is fully complete and there is a defined separation of features into each layer. This, incidentally, also is why running the F17 installer on F19 isn't practical. Bill -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
