You might want to read the proposal again. It specifically talks about
only Live installation.

There is nothing in it about a regular installation.

I have continued using the Live CD after a installation because it is
sometimes convenient to do so.  It is not slow since I usually use a
Live USB. The flexibility is quite useful. It would be wonderful to get
the rebootless feature added as well.
