Hello, Chris,

I advocated for removing the 'install' option, to simplify the number  
of declared states that a node can be in.  Also, because there are so  
many steps that an admin must follow prior to installing a node, I  
think it is difficult for an admin to argue that the node was  
accidentally installed.

It sounds like your surprise comes mostly from the difference of  
expectation from the previous way than an objection to the new  
approach.  Is that right?

Thanks,
Stephen.
