Wouldn't, but I think we should fix existing text mode installer and add some 
new features to it (like multimachine, fully automated network installation).

Because it's one more package that is absolutely not needed for proper system 
operation and because it looks like a spyware ;)  Besides, it is a great 
false-positive generator. For example, I'm installing many packages just to 
check what are they doing and is it useful for me. If not, I simply remove 
them. I'm sure that many other users are doing the same.
