If you look at the feature page and watch 18 minutes of youtube videos,
and/or look at my code, I think you'll have to admit there is 'a way' to
do it. I certainly won't be offended by the label 'insane' however,
unless of course you find technical problems with my implementation, in
which case, I still won't mind the label, I'll just go fix em.

Given that I'm precisely the kind of person who is comfortable doing the
chroot dance, and I get the most joy from using my installer, I'd have
to biasedly suggest that it is for everyone who thinks its kindof cool.
