One of the many things I like about Linux is the flexibility. You want to
take it away.
I've said nor implied no such thing. I've very specifically applied
feature creep criticism to the GUI installer, and as yet I haven't
even said what I would take away from the current GUI installer, only
that I wouldn't add any more functionality to it until what we have
now is better stabilized.
Just because I don't currently need to create weird
partitioning schemes doesn't mean that I don't value it.
Kickstart. CLI tools. Not GUI installer. Weird does not belong, AT
ALL, in the GUI installer. Weird is untrustworthy. Weird is
unintuitive. Weird is capricious. They are incompatible with positive,
clean, quick UX. The GUI installer is unique, users don't use it
often, they shouldn't even have to depend on any documentation if it
does its job correctly.
