Good suggestions indeed.
While choice can be both a good and a bad thing, it has not been the measuring stick by which packages have been chosen for the sss cd. It's important to note that adding or excluding a package from the sss cd in now way limits the ability of users to choose a different package.
I can hear some of you now, saying, "What you say?" and "Someone set us up the bomb!" -- and I sympathize with you. :)
The good news is that this version (indeed, as well as the past few versions) of the sss cd contains all the software necessary to "roll your own." If you're displeased with the direction things are going, you can:
a) fork the project and make your own or . . .
b) take an active participation in the project and try to influence it's outcome. (I give great weight to the opinions of those who have demonstrated a real interest in the project by investing time. But, of course, all opinions are welcome.)
Personally, I'm all for option b -- there's A LOT to do. Any volunteers? :D

What about the OSS philosophy of choice? I agree that the iso size needs to be kept in check... Maybe you could include two programs where the size isn't large, and include links to other alternatives that the users could explore on their own if they so desire.
