I don't really think comparing to an unreleased product can be called

The trend is over several releases, both of Windows and products like
Office. And it's extremely unlikely the Windows team will add UI to AppX
installation.
I am prepared to write one and may well start soon but I wasn't sure
how stable the interface was.
Very. There hasn't been a change in several months and then it was a
trivial addition.
Personally I would expect it to be part of the core of WiX but I know
from previous experience that getting code accepted is not easy. (The
reason for making it part of WiX is that I work in an environment
where, rather disappointingly, open source is considered evil and just
getting WiX approved was an uphill struggle.)
I understand that it's convenient if WiX included everything, and that
it solves the problem you (and others) have with twitchy
lawyers/processes...but every new thing in WiX is a tax on the WiX team.
I think everyone's better off in the long run if the taxes are spread
out a bit.
I do agree that the core of WiX is more important than the UI and was
just testing the water to see whether I was alone on the UI choice --
maybe I would repost something in wix-users to test the water.
Sure. And I think it's worth differentiating the WiX BA and WixStdBA.
