Let me suggest a test case for such a thing: A Linux installer.

If one can keep the dependencies right and show the consequences of
choices in real time it will be very hard to avoid Ada on the Linux
installation CDs.

Current Linux installers tend to want to install too much too soon. They
don't try to establish whether the basics works before trying to install
the whole caboodle.
