Bottom line on this one is that what's better for novice users is
winning out over what's better for more advanced users.  Having
sysinstall do its thing with minimal effort (have everything it *needs*
available on the same disc) gives us less of a black eye when novices
try it, the folks who barely know what they're doing but write reviews
for magazines/blogs/etc try it, etc...
