status of project to split up sysinst?

["Jeremy C. Reed" <reed%reedmedia.net@localhost>]

I think there was a GSoC project related to this.

Split sysinst into front and back end
http://www.be.netbsd.org/contrib/soc-projects.html#sysinst_split
(old webpage not on new site anymore)

I think this was the project:
 http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/install-tool/

What is the status of this?

The desire is to be able to use a different front end to install.
