Why? Say you have a Development collection that contain SUNW firefox, SUNWmercurial and a bunch of other packages. Do we really care if the liveCD contains SUNWfirefox and the Development collection does too? It wouldn't make sense for all of Development to be in the liveCD but I don't think it's necessary to say 100% exclusion is required. Jean
