I can't find any. My memory is faulty, but I'm pretty sure it was not my idea,
just something I submitted because somebody asked whether it was possible. But
I cannot find the original conversation.

I don't follow the reasoning here.

1) We develop the installer for a known and controlled environment (the
standard int-sys).

2) Then you introduce a new environment (the live image) claiming that things
should work and, if not, it's a bug in the environment.

3) Then turns out that, although the YaST team has been trying to help when
possible and reasonable, the whole thing actually does not work as smooth as
expected.

4) But instead of fixing the buggy environment (that was the premise,
"difference in environments should be neglegible, anything else is a bug in the
environment") we end up with a bunch of bug reports about thing we have to
adapt in the YaST side for it to work in this new environment. That was not the
deal.

As a cherry on top, now the installation and upgrade process from the live
image seems to be considered critical to release a new Tumbleweed snapshot.

So something that was on our side "hey, let's support that guy in his brave
crazy idea" has step by step become "it's our responsibility and it's urgent
when it breaks".
