Hello,
I'm the owner of the change.
This change will remove support for all Anaconda kernel boot arguments which does not have the inst. prefix. Examples:
inst.
not valid anymore: repo=my.server.com/repository
instead: inst.repo=my.server.com/repository
Reason for that was to avoid conflicts we had with other consumers of the kernel boot arguments. The biggest pain points were arguments debug which now has to be inst.debug and for example version which now have to be inst.version.
debug
inst.debug
version
inst.version
We don't plan to have upstream documentation for this change because the old variant is deprecated a long time and not used by our upstream documentation.
If you need more details to clarify things, please tell me.
Thanks for your work on release docs!
