We tried that during the woody release, and it failed miserably; nearly a year of development time on d-i was lost while a few people got the boot floppies working again for one last hurrah. It was impossible to make projections of how much time it would take to get d-i ready when noone was working on it, noone was testing it, and the issues were unknown. The only way to get the installer ready is to make it a priority, and to work on it. -- see shy jo
