            Bug ID: 279174
           Summary: POLA violation: Graphical Installer for a natively
                    text UI OS
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: concussious.bugzi...@runbox.com

"The new installer is expected to increase the attractiveness of the system for
users who are accustomed to graphical installers and perceive text interfaces
as outdated."

FreeBSD has an exceptionally consistent, elegant, and efficient entirely text
based interface which comprises the base system. People will be astonished
after a graphical bootloader then graphical installer drops them into a text
interface after installing the system.

To be clear, this is amazing work and I hope all of our graphical downstreams
are collaborating and using it. But, there's not a lot of spaces left for
people who need a moderm advanced operating system, not a toy, and prefer TUI.
This has always been one of those spaces.

Thanks everyone, and sorry to speak up in a critical way.
