If considering work on sysinstall to improve the stats, how about fixing some of the pitfalls that drive away prospective new users? (IOW increase the actual number of installations rather than just the fraction that get reported.) Surely it should be possible to avoid lethal messes like a newly- installed system that has no kernel, or a partitioning that will not accommodate the set of components selected for installation (resulting in failure when /usr fills up). And no, I am not suggesting any substantial change to the overall look and feel of the UI. That would be too much work for, at best, a cosmetic improvement.
