What confuses me is that I'm not sure firstboot makes sense for any
sort of 'managed' desktop - surely things like authentication, timezone,
and users (on the network) have already been set up by that point? Firstboot
seems more targeted for the 'home user' (ugh) who is getting a preinstalled
box from some OEM.

What may make sense (and also be completely unimplementable) is to structure
things so that steps can be moved between firstboot and anaconda at will
based on some sort of configuration.
