Johnny,
I've been looking on anaconda yesterday to think about implementation
and it seems to me now, that it's much harder than to write some code in
python. As for me I guess the mirror list is useful in network text mode
install mainly... and here we go with C not python. So, although I find
it a nice feature, I think we should stick with upstream and rather
teach end-users to use kickstart properly.
