Geez enough with the bellyaching.  You have lots of options if you don't
like Mandrake's policy on this:
a) Start building contrib packages that do what you want (odly enough
you keep missing the fact that there are tons of them out there).
b) Start your own distribution, where people will bitch at you about
something entirely different.

Either way if you put half the effort you've put into complaigning you'd
be a lot further towards your goal than you are now.
