well, taco and i and a few others have mkiv running fro quite a while no 
(before it went beta) ... the problem is that we cannot foresee how 
users have set up their system

the biggest issue is that

(1) luatex needs a cache path and users may have conflicting demands
(2) luatex needs lua code to start up and therefore be ablt to find it

well, once it runt it runs ... tex has never been easy to install and we 
cannot change everything at once
