Right, this would really simplify d-i development. My personal opinion is that 2.6.8 isn't enought mature to be used on server installation with multidisk, lvm and XFS. But, when Etch will be released, we will probably have 2.6.25 or such available. I think, in this case, 2.6 could really be offered as a complete replacement for 2.4.
