I don't know if it's impossible to revert to the F17 anaconda at this

It's not impossible, well, nothing is impossible, but at this point it's
almost certainly more of a disruption than just plowing on with newui.
It's worth noting quite a lot of the early issues in this cycle -
particularly during Alpha - weren't actually much to do with newui; they
were more to do with changes in dracut which affected anaconda. oldui
wasn't fixed for that, so if were to try and switch back to oldui at
this point, we'd have to go through the whole process of adjusting the
code for the changes to dracut again, quite apart from any other issues.
Makes me wonder... were the anaconda developers and FESCo aware of the
oncoming major changes to dracut? At least I failed to see anything
obviously related to that on a quick skim through the f18 feature list.
