Now that this email finally decided to wend its way to my inbox, I can

I don't think a centos installclass needs to be part of upstream 
anaconda. We should provide a means of configuring anaconda for the 
needs of downstream projects without a need to modify anaconda, and an 
installclass can be considered part of that configuration. The Fedora 
products are effectively downstream products now and will be providing 
installclass data in packages separate from anaconda. The same kind of 
thing can work for CentOS. This way Fedora or CentOS or anyone can make 
changes to default filesystems or efi directory names or whatever 
without needing an upstream anaconda change.

Break how?
