That is not for me to say, but FWIW I agree. While I haven't tested this patch, I do want to say that I'd rather this be an optional/alternative install method while leaving people a choice of using the old, tried-and-true shell. Perhaps after you test it, you will be so impressed by it that you will resolve never to use any other way of installing ever again? Even if that is not the case, I'd still be interested to hear your opinions after you have tried it. I'd also like to state that I hope this installer will make sure the user has plenty of options available at each stage of the process and won't make the aforementioned mistake of assuming the end user's needs (unless there is some technical reason that the distro simply can not do something, in which case I'd hope the techinal limitation will be fixed instead of setting it in stone by removing it entirely from the GUI installer). As with all systems, one has to strike a balance between flexibility and ease of use. I too hope that the right balance has been acheived, but I am sure that improvements can be made. That is why I put out this call for testing. Once I have collected enough feedback from people who have tried it, I will decide what changes need to be made. And needless to say, others are welcome to send patches and/or commit to the branch as appropriate. J' -- Avoid eavesdropping. Send strong encrypted email.
