I agree - there is a significant case for providing a slim desktop as the default and allowing people to optionally install the more fully- featured Ubuntu version if they want the extra tools. Not everyone is a developer.
Microsoft's experiments with SKUs seem to indicate that staggered versions of software products result in happier users; they can assess their needs and obtain the most appropriate version, thereby saving them effort. In my opinion, you ignore this at your peril. -- ubuntu-desktop depends on too much and useless packages for a desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/12395 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
