Why can we not use in the interim use pc-sysinstall on the platforms 
that it performs best on and use bsdinstall on the others?

It doesn't make sense for us to hold up some platform like this at all.

Maybe no one has thought of this?  Basically use pc-sysinstall on amd64 
and i386 and use bsdinstall on the other platforms until they catch up?
