Yes. It can be either. Both SI and FI are CID capable. This means they
are command line capable and that they follow IBMs recommendations for
supporting unattended installation.

It has gotten better. The early versions where just that. Early versions
and beta quality. The current version is pretty solid, but is still
missing some features that would make it easier to use.

This is just a case of young programmers learning to write flexible,
production quality code.

FWIW, WarpIn includes a command line utility, wic, that will let you
unpack the package files.
