I don't want to be harsh, but do you know what you're talking about? Randi, for one, has taken on the zombie known as sysinstall with a nice big shotgun, and is attempting to keep adding a few features here/there as needed to keep up with necessities while other developers (AFAIK) work on other projects, including, at last count, a couple differnet possibilities for installers. It's apparently been rather daunting work, and, as a result, the new installer, whatever its name is/will be, isn't ready for inclusion with 8.0. However, a day is coming ... Kevin Kinsey
