Here is one (not "official", since I am not the debian-cd maintainer). The current CDs are made basically using the data produced by the popularity-contest package. Debian is for everybody, not just for beginners. If package A is more popular than package B, then A is more likely to be included in CD#1, even if it's less user-friendly than B. In my opinion this principle is basically right and should not be changed. I think it's better that we do not try to second-guess our user's needs based on abstract concepts like "user-friendliness". We can measure how many people use a package regularly or how many people have it installed, but we can't measure the user-friendliness. Regarding emacsen: emacs20-dl has just been excluded from CD #1. emacs20 and emacs21 are still both very popular. [ BTW: I use emacs20 myself and do not consider it a "duplicate" of emacs21 ]. You mention also some big packages in non-US. I agree that it would be nice to have them in the second CD, but this would mean a 2nd "non-US" CD at least. AFAIK, the implications of that have yet to be evaluated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
