Certainly.  But I think it has to go beyond the installer.  We
should define an environment that third party applications can
depend on being available in any installation that claims to
be FreeBSD.  Without this, you have the same environement that
Linux does where third party apps are only qualified on distribution
U and X and have no hope of working on distributions Y and Z.
