It is a big problem. Lot of things will be broken (won't be in new
anaconda for F18, but should be again in next releases, hopefully). For
example, we use serial console a lot and for f18 it won't work. I'm here
only proposing changes because of the state of anaconda and I hope that
the discussion within this threads will lead to some action - for me it
would be better to wait, but it looks like we could wait another six
month.

I understand anaconda is undergoing a significant and needed rewrite,
but is it wise to ship a release with a whole lot of installer
functionality removed? Maybe F18 should wait until anaconda is ready.
