Maybe. It's easy to call things broken in retrospect. However, much of the
"magic" that anaconda does is outside of the scope of individual packages.
It drags along knowledge like "hey, if you had mozilla installed before, you
probably want firefox installed now, even though the two packages can
coexist just file", and also "hey, lvm1 needs to be converted to lvm2".
