The amount of control that you have in FreeBSD UNIX is unsurpassed including the install program. Another unimortant thing I think about as well is this kind of thing sets FreeBSD apart from the Linuxes and Windows. Its a great Idea and I dont know if that will or will not ever be included in the next releases or not but this is my view... Ofcoarse you know what opinions are like.
