 Not disagreeing with your point, but just adding some random comments:
 
 I would like to see sysinst mark the sets available on local medium specially,
 and allow different sources for different sets.
 
 That way you could do a full install from local sets and then continue getting
 the latest pkgsrc and a binary-matching source sets or, at your wish, a
 newer one via network.
 
 However, this requires quite a bit of reorganization at the code level.
 
 Moving secondary fetches to post-install time might be an option, but on the
 other hand a single "ask all questions now" phase early and basically 
 unattended installation later has its merits.
