Upgrade instaler script CMS Made Simple from 1.12.1 to 2.27

Would you please upgrade CMS Made Simple from 1.x to 2.x?

Virtualmin is a great control panel, but in scripts looks a little slow to update and some are quite old that may not work in newer Linux versions. I would like to suggest that a timeline or timeframe would be established to upgrade scripts / and or to get feedback about time to implement or just no way to implement. I am still waiting a response on the Prestashop installer, I see requests made since 2012:

For CMS Made Simple here are the requirements:

https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/installation/requirements

One of these operating systems:

Linux/Unix (preferred)
Mac OS X*
Windows* (not recommended)

*Although we list Windows and Mac OS X as options, it is suggested that these only be used for development purposes and not production sites. Our Development Team primarily works with *nix based servers, so support and vulnerability patches for Windows servers may be limited or non-existent.

One of these webservers:

Apache 1.3
Apache 2
LightTPD 1.4+
note: IIS is no longer supported nor recommended. 

PHP 5.6+

As of CMSMS 2.2.7, PHP 5.6+ is required

The installation assistant requires the PHAR library enabled.
Working PHP sessions
CMS Made Simple itself requires at least PHP 5.6 with numerous libraries enabled (the install assistant will check for these) including json, tokenizer, xml, and gd. Newer PHP versions will provide significantly better performance, and as of this writing have been tested up to PHP 7.1.
PHP Tokenizer support. Some hosts don't install tokenizer support for php by default, but this is usually trivial and harmless for them to add.
Safe mode turned OFF. CMS Made Simple does not support safe mode. Though it is possible to install and use CMS Made Simple with a host that uses safe mode, we will not support it. If you do install CMS Made Simple in a safe mode environment, you need to take careful and exhaustive effort to ensure that any problem you are encountering are not related to safe mode restrictions before posting any message on the forum.
ModSecurity (mod_security) must be disabled. If your host does not allow for it to be disabled, you will run into random issues updating content and changing settings, and will need to have your host whitelist rules one by one.
php.ini settings. When CMS Made Simple is installed it will check that you have at least the following: PHP memory limit (minimum 16M, recommend 24M or greater), PHP time limit in seconds (minimum 30, recommend 60 or greater), max post size (minimum 2M, recommend 10M or greater), and max upload file size (minimum 2M, recommend 10M or greater). Note that you will find several posts in the forums where a PHP memory_limit of 64M or even 128M has been recommended.
curl extensions (recommended) 

MySQL 4.1=

A session cookies and Javascript enabled admin browser

Firefox
Chrome
IE7+ (IE6 is not supported)
Safari
Opera

The application does not need root access, and, in fact, needs very minimal permissions to operate. Write access is only required on a few directories and should be pretty safe for everyday use.

Storage space required (for those with shared hosting plans or quotas to consider) is very dependent upon the modules, files (including images and template graphics), and data you add to your site. At a minimum, you should allow at least 20 MB for a "stock" install with default content. This would not include other files and data stored in your hosting account, such as logs and mail, so your actual hosting plan requirements will likely be more.

Because of caching, there are only a minimal amount of SQL calls per page hit, and systems with only a minimum amount of processor or RAM resources should be able to run it with minimal reduction in performance.

Thanks for the heads up ... we are looking into upgrading the supported version of CMS made simple.

New version will be available in ~24 hours for Virtualmin users.
