We disabled it to try to get the size of the x86/amd64 LiveCDs down.
Thanks.  I knew there had to be some reason for it, but couldn't
remember what it was off the top of my head.  Luckily, this won't be
much of an issue with the next release, since we're switching to Xfce
rather than GNOME to bring the size down even further and to try to
produce a more useful (as in more tools) LiveCD.  Of course, the
LiveDVD will have everything on it, as it does now.

Glad to hear that. Then maybe we could add some stages to livecd?
Replace evolution with something usable like claws-mail to do so.

The saved space (~105MB with my test build right after 2007.0) would only allow for one stage tarball (the i686 2007.0 stage3 was 103MB, for example), and then we'd be right back where we were with keeping the ISO under 700MB.
