1) it was an experiment plagued by bugs, some *very* serious
2) the normal, "hands-on", follow the handbook, manual install has
always been the recommended way to install Gentoo, and could be
considered a rite of passage, familiarizing the user with how things
are done in this distro
3) too few people are interested in developing, testing and
maintaining this; making it more likely that a revival of this project
will result in failure again
4) a buggy installer is a disservice to new users and can give them a
false impression of Gentoo

But that's just my opinion. :-)
