And I want a pony... Some reasons: * We won't fix packaging boundary issues if the predominant install configuration is everything; they won't get noticed. * Distributing all software to everyone is expensive in terms of bandwidth; by having people install the software they need we discover what people like and want and don't end up updating petabytes of code that is never used. * We don't have the resources to build and test more configurations. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
