Right, but those claims (1 - being scriptable and 2 - not requiring utilities 
outside the base) are *both* not unique to bsdinstall and its predecessor 
(sysinstall) exhibited both those features long before bsdinstall.

We've been scripting sysinstall since 2006. Successfully, I might add (and yes, 
we plan to release a 9.0 scripted sysinstall image to "share the love").
