Another Palm user's (hence biased) reaction: I too don't see any problem in removing Gnome-Pilot from the default install (as long as it remains in the repositories). Why has Gnome-Pilot been chosen by the Ubuntu team? Probably because it is best integrated with Evolution and Gnome. In a perfect world, it would sync with any device.
Yet I think that some comments have been a little hard towards the developers... Why call this a "bug"? Ubuntu is a great distro which takes care of its users. The somewhat high number of default software is part of what makes its so user-friendly: it is immediately usable. I think it's better to have extra software to remove, than missing ones to add. Is space on the Ubuntu live-CD such an issue? Then removing Gnome Pilot would'nt have been my first idea. Why not choose between f-spot (1,6 Mo) and eog (1.2 Mo), split gnome-games (+data) (~ 15 Mo total)... Now, are there so few Palm users? I think instead that there is a good number of them, especially in the business area (e.g. Philips provide their engineers with Palm devices). isn't that a target for Ubuntu? Anyhow, I don't see their number drop that quicly. Why should so many users, who have come to Open Source software and Linux thanks to Ubuntu, be so eager to use a MS-labeled PDA or smartphone... I don't have the figures, but try googling for "sync Linux palm" / "sync Linux pocket pc".
