No, I don't.  But that doesn't mean the user shouldn't make the
choice.  Even if it is the wrong one from your point of view with your
additional knowledge.

We're a metadistribution, not a distribution.  We're supposed to be
all about allowing the user to tailor each and every package to
his/her exact specification.

I think the policy of 'never die' would be understandable for a
distribution, but I don't feel it's appropriate for a
metadistribution.

How so?  We've worked very hard to ensure that's not the case.  What
have we missed?

Best regards,
Stu
