I poked owls@mit.edu to update:
http://web.mit.edu/acs/min-std-athena.html
this morning.
I get the idea that the request's being bounced around a bit, but that
it'll be worked on tomorrow.
I don't think it's a matter of support; the new installer is already a
supported product to the extent that hotline is using it, that there's no
other installer for the new cluster workstations, and that bugs@mit.edu
will fix bugs involving it.
There's of course only best-effort support, for non-standard hardware...
