No one is going to convince anyone who grew up on OFM's that there is a

There will always be installer shortcomings that need fixing, always,
forever, infinity. There will never be a perfect installer. That such
bugs should be fixed is no justification for omitting the best way for

package anyway, maybe 300K?

OFM's forever.
