Hi there Shirish, I get where you're coming from and what you say is not without merit. I do however want to clarify that I don't it completely removed, and in relation to that two related things.
Firstly: I'm not a package maintainer, but I suspect that stuff like this might have been handled in the past. In which case my suggestion will depend entirely on that. But hypothetically: there are a lot of sites youtube-dl can be used for. So how long can that list be? Is 50000 sites, or more, a liability or an asset? Arguments like that can devolve into absurdities, there are a finite amount of sites, but there _is_ a lot of them. I obviously hint at the former, but really. With regard to Debian packaging I'm a user and it is from that perspective I view it. Secondly: Without being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian I'd say that the inverse is true when you say: "...would have made sense if it was a GUI program but it's a CLI program." I'd argue that it's easier to browse a long list in a "GUI format" and not the other way around. Or in a worst case scenario: just as cumbersome. What I think is not Policy. Neither does it become praxis just by a mere uttering, and rightfully. So I look forward to nothing. Best regard, Johan.
