One issue that has always existed with `%post --nochroot` and will also be present for this new `%pre-install` is the question of "what commandline tools are available" - in practice, I think script writers will simply test using whatever version of Anaconda (i.e. lorax templates) and use what's available.  Probably most of them are just executing things from `coreutils` and the like.

But it does mean that over time we'll have to consider external scripts when changing the lorax templates and likely be more conservative about removals.

(Random alternatives would be being able to pull down a Docker container that contains the user script, or having the user script come as a package, and doing a second install root...but probably the sanest thing is to just document "Try to rely only on core packages such as `coreutils`?)
