If we don't add new architecture and new features, it should work.
If someone like new features (LVM etc.), if someone like a new
architecture (Hurd, BSD, ...), if someone like some other improvments,
they all should work on d-i. I hope we get d-i stable and I hope we can
use it with sarge.
But we/you should not wait for d-i a long time and delay the sarge release.
Stop _developing_ on b-f. But find some debian maintainer (like Edward)
who _maintain_ b-f for some time.
