Isn't this issue muted by the simple fact that if it is available via IPS we 
can just download it.
So maybe the real question should be what is crucial to a base system. Under 
those circumstances I can download gimp and have a pre-configured java 
environment 
which at times can be a pain. This leads nicely into an Eclipse install also. 
In my opinion
a working build environment and working java are a higher priority than any 
adons, 
with one exception either cups or hplip, it is nice to be able to get output.

A supplemental CD could be easily created for extras and leave the room for 
further
expansion it the future. I say easily since it would not have to be bootable.
