Hi,
I am highly against reverting. Old installer is not GPT aware and in
fact is unmaintained for a very long time.
About ftp - its probably needs to be handled better, but most of the
user i think using cd/dvd image, so it is not an issue. And new
installer is written on shell, so i think its better to fix broken parts
then to revert it to outdated and unmaintained code.
P.S. i personally had no problems with a new installer, used it from DVD.
