As the set of packages that are present on the live CD is a

along one piece of "data" (quotes because the methodology here is

like to harp on the email client choice will certainly find some
fodder within.

Usually it's an online poll - where anyone is welcome to submit.
Interesting to see Evolution at so low a %, though probably not
surprising given the active work occurring in Thunderbird right
now. I think the hard part is trying to figure out what
consequences removing the GUI part of Evolution would make ie.
which bits rely on e-d-s and what impact would that be to the user
interface.
Sun also has somewhat of an obligation to provide an accessible
desktop by default, which isn't really a consideration in such
polls... I'm not sure how Thunderbird currently stacks up against
Evolution on the a11y front, but it certainly used to lag somewhat.
If a user can successfully use the package manager and download the
client of their choice I wonder if the introduction of IPS changes
those limitations - I'd suspect it does.
