Out of 2500 emails I have in the linux-kernel folder, 175 of them
were posted using Elm. Personally I use PINE, but 175/2500
random emails is 7%. That is hardly "few people". Granted other
mailing lists likely have a different MUA spread, but linux still
has mostly a technical user base, and I know if someone suggested
that PINE be removed, I'd have napalm on their ass pretty quick.
The way I see things going, is moving lesser used stuff to a
second CDROM like powertools. Keep the main dist "general" and
put extras on a separate CD or two.
Just an idea.
