I said I do the INSTALL without them.  I just the source tree and ports
quite being a committer to both of them.  I just find the copies on
the release media a waste of time to install since I'll just be nuking
them and installing new copies from cvs.  I was attempting to point
out that the currently missing features while important to the overall
experience, aren't critical to being able to get a system up and running
configured how ever you like so long as you have a decent network
connection (which you presumably do if you're going to be downloading a
300MB iso to test out an installer. :)
