That in itself isn't a bad thing but it will create inconsistencies in the site.

Right and with good reason - it's more accurate. The installers can run in either graphical or text modes interactively (and silent mode in fact).
Consistency is good - except when it is inaccurate. That is not good for the community.
The EDB Windows Installer that you can download today does not support text mode. If you try to run with --mode text you get a nice GUI error pop-up telling you the allowed modes do not include text.
Is there a new version planned that will allow text mode on Windows, or does the description require changing to be more accurate?
