There's nothing to apologise for, really.  I was entirely serious in
my own criticism of the installation system and believe me, even
though the current installation system offers a pretty good mix of
features and people seem to genuinely like it, it's in bad need of a
rewrite.  We're supposed to be software engineers in this project,
damn it, and I know we can do better! :-)

Truly, the problem is not a lack of ideas or vision.  The problem
is lack of skilled programmer time to write all that code! :-)
