Aren't some Fedora spins still using Initial Setup (not to be confused
with Gnome Initial Setup) ? That would get it removed as well, if the
anaconda package is uninstaled.
But I guess this new tool could be hooked only after Initial Setup has
finished running during the first boot - by which point it should by
fine to remove Anaconda & Initial Setup from the system.
