Writing a new installer is not a simple task.  It takes a _lot_ of work,
a _lot_ of testing, and a _lot_lot_lot_ fof eedback.  Instead of
bemoaning that what was announced doesn't do everything that you want it
to do, please view it as the first release of a larger work-in-progress.
I believe that Andrew was looking for constructive feedback, so please
show him some courtesy and provide that.
