Without taking a position on this particular user interface being included on an image... If it's in the repository, it's "in" the Indiana distribution. We need to *not* be somehow thinking of things that happen to be on a particular CD or USB image as being "preferred". The goal of any particular image we create is not to make every possible user happy, but to meet a particular set of requirements for a particular set of users. Just think of software as either being already there, or only a click or two away. I don't think that is too much of an obstacle to users who may want such functionality.
