So, we basically *agree* that a lot of software makes more bugs. Whoa, that's *a* point. Now, unless we decide to, Debian is not meant to refuse any *new* package. Which means that the distribution will always grow, even without redundant software. All in all, yes sure, reducing choice will give a breath and reduce load, but clearly, it's only postponing the issue, and giving false answers to real issues. > This is, not coincidentally, one of the many reasons why so many people > flock to Ubuntu rather than Debian. Are you meaning to disqualify yourself with this kinds of trolls ? Ubuntu clearly concentrate on a core set of packages, and pulls out of debian the others. So I'd be delighted to see how ubuntu would handle this diversity, and have so many users without *our* diversity. Romain
