NAK because the text mode installer is deprecated in major ways --
there's just no way to support the feature set that people want from the
installer.
Interesting. I always understood the text installer would be easier to
support in alt arches and embedded devices, etc. How do you plan to
support installs over serial port on headless boxes?
Deprecated with plans to remove or deprecated = not recommended but
will keep around?
