While there is a lot here that I could debate till my fingers fall off, I think one point by Soren actually sums up my concern pretty well:

I would also reiterate a subject Michael Hipp brought up in his last email. That is that the concern here is not so much about w3m being in the server seed, but that if such a useless package can make it into the server seed, than what more feature creep will the future bring. Keep in mind that I too am one that jumped ship from RHEL, which apparently decided to take after MS and make a nice big leap in bloated-by-default with RHEL 5. SuSe is the same way. So the thought of another distro which I've favored, losing what it is that I favor it for, is a little disheartening.
