I understand the problem since I have done some anaconda for our own
purposes customization in the past.
However, the integrity of a Linux distribution is something that decides
about how many users will be able to install and like it (because it has
no flaws) and how many adoptors can find a way to create their own
flavours and thus spread the word (or the ISOs, in our case =)
This is the main goal of the revisor project, creating more flavours,
enable easy customization and so spread the Fedora project as much as
possible - unless I am very mistaken.

If any updates won't work together with another package in the main
distro (like anaconda-runtime), I think they should not go into a stable
updates tree.
Just my personal opinion, I sure don't demand anything from a free
project here. If I had had the spare time, I probably would have dug
into this and fixed the issue.
