But will he be able to do the following:

- create true hierarchichal bundles and work with namespaces, like sgi inst(1M), IBM's instalp(1M), and HP-UX's swinstall(1M) can handle?

- specify which subsystems / subproducts are installed by default?

For example, ssh.man would be installed per default (marked "D"), but ssh.doc would not, unless explicitly selected by the installation profile, or the sysadmin?

- support image-like installation, like Flash(TM)?

- be able to insert, remove, or otherwise manipulate configuration files of appliactions which do not implement INCLUDE keywords?

Hey, I've got 22,000 servers to worry about.  "Works on a single user's system" just wouldn't cut it!  Even if I wanted to, I couldn't possibly muck around 22,000 times! I don't believe I'd be done during my lifetime!
