I'd imagine that running the "live Anaconda" UI from inside the GDM X session wouldn't take significantly more resources than the Anaconda OS after creating an image that doesn't have games, etc.

Images sound significantly more difficult to create and maintain than kickstart-files.

I would really hate to lose kickstart.

No one's suggesting replacing kickstart, actually I think we way undersell it. What I'm talking about is the mode where the image boots directly into Anaconda as a complete OS should instead be a live image with Anaconda as an application, which for the most part would be the same except you'd gain the ability to run say Firefox (or any other app; games), or do "yum install" during the install.
