All that would happen would be that ppl will see `oh, no DHCP support on 
install. Better go with that linux dist which supports it' and we lose 
support. *shrug*

Keeping people happy is the name of the game. I think you fail to understand 
that concept. If people need DHCP to install, then that becomes a requirement. 
Its not a cost issue. Its a `oh, I want to do this tonite, I have time. What? 
I need to wait for a CD to be shipped?!?!? **** that, I'll go install 
something which *SUPPORTS* *MY* *NEEDS*'

Please, unless you have something constructive to contribute to this 
discussion, I suggest you drop it before you look like you are irritated 
because fortran is still in the base tree and you now have a bee in your 
bonnet.

Instead of being an obstruction to progress, I suggest you find ways to 
contribute to the furthering of your goals. e.g. working with the people 
developing the new integrated packaging system which would make the 
distinction between `distribution' and `package' blurred.
