There _is_ a new next-gen installation program in the works for FreeBSD,
but (like so many other open-source projects) it will only get done if
people work on it.  Recently, there hasn't been much interest in it.

If you feel strongly about improving the installer, join the project,
encourage others to join, and consider sponsoring a developer to get
some headway made on it.
