For me, this is another instance of a user point of view versus a developer point of view.
Coming from someone who tries to make SageMath easily available for ordinary people, Marc's views are all the more valuable IMHO. An individual mathematician who only needs some portion of the sage library may install only his favorite distribution package. As I have said so many times before, apparently to no avail, I strongly disagree with this point of view. It is not reasonable to expect an individual mathematician, or student, to be able to decide which portions of Sage are needed, nor even to know which portions can be installed separately. An individual who wants to use Sage should just install Sage. All of it. And that installation should be very easy. It should certainly not require deciding which portions of Sage might be needed in which contexts. +1 to both of these. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
