My initial point was not about installation, it was about post-installation configuration.

Sorry, that's backwards. Garrett was right. I'll have no objection to sysinstall being gone in 10.0-RELEASE after it's lived with the deprecated tag in 9.x, but the new functionality needs to be feature complete first. And for the record, yes I am aware that this problem is why sysinstall has lived so long in the first place. I should also point out for the record that I don't see anything malicious in Nathan's actions, my only concern is that they are premature.
