And I want the exact opposite :-). I'd like the ability to tell
anaconda: Hey! You see these disk drives here? Well stop looking
at them! They have raid arrays that nash will waste 15 minutes
dragging into the device mapper infrastructure, and I'm not gonna
ever use them when I have fedora booted. For God's sake, pretend they
don't exist! Don't add anything to initrd to access them, don't
add them to fstab, they were never there, you just imagined them :-).

This is hardly an opposite of my feature request. Yours is an
completely different feature request and I don't see the collision. I
support your idea and also think that it would be a nice feature for
anaconda to have also... maybe in some "advanced" mode or something
like that.
