Blender was added (actually changed form suggests to recommends) in
version 0.848 with this changelog entry:
* Raise the priority of blender in the graphics task from suggests
to recommends, as it is mentioned on
<URL:http://www.slx.no/en/take-a-tour>.
It was found to be part of the set of applications useful to promote
Debian Edu/Skolelinux, and this caused me to make sure it is installed
as part of the default installation for Squeeze.
I would rather drop some of the duplicate functionally listed on
<URL: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Squeeze > before we
remove packages found to be soo good that they can be used to promote
Skolelinux.
The popcon.skolelinux.org numbers for blender are 1.9% machines have
it installed and 0.2% used it last week. Not too surprising, as it
has not been part of any stable release yet.
I'm not against dropping blender, but I believe we should try to look
at the complete picture before we do so.
Happy hacking,
