This was not a case of personal preference, I was simply attempting to conserve space. I noticed that several items would fit within the 80 character boundry and so I rearranged them a little. The same goes for the userspace text, I was attempting to keep it within a limit of 75 character since you said earlier that this is what we should do. > Just out of curiosity, why did you make it recommended?

I put it there because I've learned, through previous discussions, that a recommended dependency is an optional one that would cause you to loose important functionality if not installed. > I've always included information about the optionally installed > programs as this puts it in the index.

I was simply attempting to cover the basic package, and cover extended functionality outside of that.
