It is good to see the CLI stuff being worked on. Our first priority should always be web interfaces. I don't think including more scripts in core is a good idea at the moment.
i mentioned the cli.php in scripts/ because that's where dries wanted too put it.
Also, the cli code is a very small wrapper around the web based code. All that is still needed is a way to submit forms via the cli , and return errors.
I think a cli interface is a very nifty thing to have. If we get a graphical installer for the masses, we shouldn't forget to cater for the advanced users, too.
Indeed, Gerhard. Advanced users will not have a problem finding a CLI tools package around drupal.org.

I'm not too happy about putting this in any web accessible place. That is asking for trouble.
Nope. Just prevent access from the web via .htaccess, like we do everything else.
Alternatively, it's quite easy to add a check in the script itself to detect if it's being run in a web environment vs. a CLI. Just check for some environment variables here and there.
