Well initially I don't know how you'd use the domU kernel inside an
actual domain so I don't see why you'd throw it in sysinstall just for
now.

Just leave it on the snapshot CD so people like me can manually create
basic VM images (which is easy under FreeBSD - install kernel and base
tardist in a new filesystem using "install.sh"; boot it) and it should
lower the barrier for bootstrapping a DomU VM.
