I feel flattered :)

That said, we haven't release a 2.6.27 ISO just yet, and I need to go
in panic mode and get it out this weekend. But for the next release,
or even a smaller release before then, I'd *love* to incorporate this.

Can you explain how we can make that work? I assume you would incorporate it as an additional, experimental installer first? And if you do that, making a new category "Installer: experimental" / "Installer: fifa" /.. on flyspray would probably be a good idea.. (Actually I'm thinking of renaming this thing. There is already a football association called like this and a good framework should be flexible anyway.
AIF ? Arch Installation Framework?  Any ideas on this also welcome)

It looks very clean and easy to follow. The only minor quibble I had
was that in order to track things down, I felt like I was opening too
many files. Ok this calls, blah, which is in this file, and blah does
nothing but call bar, which is in this file, ...., ah there we go! But
it's not a bad thing, really.

True, that's what you get with modularity, things inheriting form each other, decoupling of UI etc :-) I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible though (keeping the other design goals of reusability etc in mind)

In order to help us along... could you possibly stick a binary package
somewhere (see https://dev.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/archlinux-installer/)?
This will help me if I want to build an ISO using your installer. 8)
I don't have access there. Is this the same package as http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/archlinux-installer/ ?

Just letting you know: I'm not silent because I don't care. I'm silent
because I'm watching and drooling 8)
