Hey, let's make one thing clear OK; You're de facto the maintainer and
the RM of the installer manual and I fully agree with that but please
realise that the manual is part of Debian Installer project.

Even it not being cited on the meeting, I wasn't going to blindly upload
it. I usually coordiante those things with the responsable people, as I
do for other parts of d-i too (e.g: mklibs, cdebconf and like).

I disagree on that.

That is really the point.
Being the D-I RM, I think I can consider changing something if I believe
it can benefit the project as a whole, right?
