I discovered that in Rawhide (from last week sometime IIRC), the
installer will crash if you use a USB KVM switch and switch away
(because the USB devices go away; I guess the installer can't handle
hot-plug).  I have not filed a bug yet because I only hit it once and
didn't have any time to reproduce.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
