Not exactly. It also never worked for live ISO and that is not a major
issue since UIs aren't supposed to offer automatic installer against
live medias. Also for F21, it didn't work against any ISO AFAIK. With
these patches, it will work against the netiso at least. In case of
F22, there will be workstation netisos provided and advertised so if
user downloads them, they'll be given the opportunity to do automatic
installation against them but if they choose live, they won't get such
an option.

The issue remains for server (and cloud) installers though.
