Can anaconda rerun itself?

anaconda does not do a good job cleaning up after itself since it knows
it runs with /tmp on a ramdisk and nothing will persist anyway.
Therefore while it's likely you can do this, there's going to be a bunch
of stuff in /tmp and mounted on the system that you will have to clean
up yourself.

I think this is a bad idea, though.
