That is certainly a big part of the problem. Anaconda does a _ton_ of crap that only very few users care about. And keeping all these minority features from falling apart is leaving you no time to polish the user experience for the large majority of users.
I do not see why we should remove functionality (and almost everything is there for a good reason) to "polish the user experience". I do not even see that the latter is needed (the things mentioned in the initial mail we really minor things and/or probably quite easy to add), but that's maybe my fault as a hard-core UNIX guy...
I recently had to install a SLES system for some experimental reason and ended up with a screwed-up system (read: MBR), probably because the user experience was so polished that it didn't want to ask me the things it *should* have asked :(.
