Are we? If I understand the proposal correctly it also includes
rebootless switching from the installation DVD into your newly installed
system.

But why would I want that? If somebody installs Fedora, I'm sure he
wants to actually use it and not the slow livecd. So the rebootless
feature only makes sense if one can switch rebootless to the installed
system - from the livecd as well as from the installation DVD.
