Thanks. From previous discussions with Devin I think he has other plans 
for the installer that don't involve pc-sysinstall. But since it seems 
the future is all sh(1) code, I won't be able to contribute.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/PCBSDInstallMerge lists a few limitations with 
pc-sysinstall - are these being fixed?
