Dear sage-devel, I made a small spkg in ticket #7239 which just received a positive review. Some apllications in #7240 are following the same way.
The package contains the list of prime factors occuring in numbers of the form p^k-1 with p<13 and small k which can be useful e.g. for finite field stuff. If this second patch is accepted, it will add a warning the first time the user tries to test the primitivity of a polynomial over a field of small characteristic (2,3,5,7 or 11) but big cardinality ( > 2**100 ). The warning is an advertisement for the optional spkg in #7239. My first question is: in general, do you find it reasonable to make such an advertisement? Secondly, citing the reviewer: " cremona: But why don't we (you!) put a case to sage-devel for including this spkg as standard? It's only another 492837 bytes, and the cremona database is 78M.
