Is there a plan to update sysinst?

I just tried to boot the HEAD amd64 install.img to try to test DRMKMS
and it first failed to find sysinst, and when run manually it prompted
to install onto the base sdX devices and choked. I could install
manually, but I only had a little time to test and didn't want to run
headlong into any other wedge issues.
