            Bug ID: 279174
           Summary: POLA violation: Graphical Installer for a natively
                    text UI OS
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: concussious.bugzilla@runbox.com

"The new installer is expected to increase the attractiveness of the system=
 for
users who are accustomed to graphical installers and perceive text interfac=
es
as outdated."

FreeBSD has an exceptionally consistent, elegant, and efficient entirely te=
xt
based interface which comprises the base system. People will be astonished
after a graphical bootloader then graphical installer drops them into a text
interface after installing the system.

To be clear, this is amazing work and I hope all of our graphical downstrea=
ms
are collaborating and using it. But, there's not a lot of spaces left for
people who need a moderm advanced operating system, not a toy, and prefer T=
UI.
This has always been one of those spaces.

Thanks everyone, and sorry to speak up in a critical way.
