Oh, I was not aware that Joey is the current policy czar.
(For the record, we don't have policy czars anymore.)

You are actually waiting for a decision to be made. The debian-installer
project leader does not have the authority to decide these things -
what you are suggesting requires a consensus among Debian developers at
minimum (ie. a flamewar on -devel) and possibly a Debian Policy change
(which requires certain hoops to be jumped through on the -policy list).
It definitely *cannot* be decided by the install system team alone.
(Which is, BTW, a point I already made those months ago in my reject
message.)
