Description of problem:

Hello team,

anaconda has a check for installation source changes. But this is a huge issue if the filer is using load balacing since you never know which node are you going to consume from in advance (especially if you have pool of builders across whole globe).

So imagine that you put download.devel on input however that redirects you immediately to download.rdu or perhaps to download.bos 


This is blocking any image creation since there is no way how to override check.

I guess that this applies to 6.9 as well.

This was caused by repoclosure issues on repo. We had some recent additions to kickstarts and not all dependencies were satisfied. The message regarding "source repo change" was very confusing. And I had to check code to understand what it means.
