I think it becomes pretty obvious that you are not in the mood to argue about the topic you brought up based on outdated data. You also did not responded to Ole's argument[1] that also tasksel-data has the same "conflict" with policy you are blaming blends-tasks. > To me this issue is very very clear and I'm sometimes not good > argueing issues which I think are very very clear.) The fact that it is very clear (I do not see in how far repeating 'very' makes things even clearer) to you is not really convincing. My summary of the issue is: * Holger does not like the look of presenting tasks as they where half a year ago. * The look was changed in the mean time since other also were not happy and Ole has shrinked the length to an extend that was considered sensible by those members of the Blends team who cared. * The Blends team is considering it important to present the Blends as options to the users to pick from at install time (as they pick from the set of tasks in tasksel-data). The comparison is pretty valid since it makes sense to pick from more than one Blend and the solution suggested by Holger to provide separate installation media will not solve this. * Valid reasons why blends-tasks are not included into tasksel-data were given by Ole[1]. * The conflict with policy seems artificial to me and I have the bad feeling Holger intends to hire people advocating his point instead of answering the arguments given in the bug report. I admit that's the first bug I'm involved that is brought up in the CTTE and thus I might have a wrong impression but my gut feeling says that its wrong to bother this instance with the issue in the current state.
