I have no firm opinion on this subject. I will bow to what the
majority (with some weight added to some people of course :) says.

One concern I have with Uwe's installer is that it contains AFPL
Ghostcript, and this is cannot freely be distributed on CD, for
example. This means that the installer has more restrictions than LyX
itself.

We could actually have it at ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib.
