As I have stated before.  *It has been removed*.
By that, I mean it has been removed from the install options selectable
during install.

Never mind that it is available by getting to a shell with ctl-alt-F2,
That choice was totally hidden from me for over a year after its removal
until someone on this list made the keystrokes known to me.

Removal from install menus effectively removes it completely for over
99% of users doing an install. (my estimate of values)

The fact that it is available with an arcane keystroke sequence does not
make it available to the majority of users.
