The handy thing about "eventually" is that it can be a long time. :)

All true, I'm afraid. All I can say is that efforts to revive the
effort to replace sysinstall are underway and we're even trying to
throw some money-shaped darts at the problem in hopes that we'll hit
something. I'm cautiously pessimistic, so we'll see. :)
In any case, nothing I'm currently trying to bootstrap here will see
the light of day before 5.0 at this point, so hacking sysinstall is
probably not such a bad prospect for the 3.x and 4.x releases to come.
I've even (*shudder*) been putting some work into cleaning the code up
a bit these past couple of days.
