Can't we do the same say if we for instance opted for ubuntu
(ie. use debian's installer (d-i)) ?  What would we be loosing
if we decided to go this route as you didn't seem to list it as
an option.

Unless I'm missing something, if we opted to base it on something
that was formerly based on morphix but now has moved on to debian's
installer we would still get the modularity and a more active
development community, no ?
