Anaconda was revamped to use yum and this "feature" has not been added 
back.

Deviating from the original topic requires a new thread. If you are 
going on a rant on whether software is designed for users or developers, 
atleast do it in a different thread so that people can selectively 
ignore it if they dont want to read on that topic.

Define "work". It works fine for me.

Talk to upstream, fork it or use a alternative. Try talking with bug 
reports and feature requests since they are specific enough compared to 
calling something non working when it does.
