As we have talked at IRC, I'm all for that. I believe we ought to
avoid bloading installer when possible but we can't hold improvements
forever. The default machine specs has changed a bit since 2006 and
then I do believe that this is much less problematic then it was.
Besides that, kickstart will add a big plus in Debian Installer and
make life much easier for people to migrate for Debian in Enterprise.
So basically I fully agree with it being add.
Others?
