Even within FC6 anaconda isn't properly updated. The parted

It would be nice if anaconda were kept in better sync with its
dependencies. Presumably this will be better in FC7 as respins will be more
normal there than they are now.
That may not be the case. Then you're asking the installer team to track many
more releases than they aught to. Using updates.img is a far easier/simple
way of fixing installer bugs, rather than trying to stabilize the installer
across new package sets as updates are made. I'd much rather have them
spending their time making improvements for the next Fedora release.
