If I understood Tobias, they were not suggesting to make the
non-interactive installation use case harder/impossible, just to change
it from 'yes | ./install.sh' to 'yes "" | ./install.sh', which would
give us the freedom to choose a default value of either yes or no for
each question.
Hope that helps!
