Well, if we replace the explicit Newt calls with a higher-level interface, yes.

Yes! I’ve pushed ‘wip-installer-test’, which implements said protocol. See screenshot below! :-) What’s left to do now is to write an actual test that uses it. Speaking of which, does anyone know if there’s a way to share a Unix-domain socket between a QEMU guest and its host? (Over 9p?) Thanks, Ludo’.
