Both those applets are pretty new, AFAIK, introduced into contrib this beta cycle. Yes, there's a place for them. Yes, main and installed for the convenience of newbies by default would be good. No, I don't believe they should be in 9.2 by default. They aren't yet stable/mature/proven enough yet for that, IMO. Leave it in contrib this cycle, consider it for main next cycle, install it by default the third cycle, I think is a decent policy, tho installed by default in second cycle might be fine for these, if maturity and stability warrants it. AFAIK, it's the same deal with urpmi.setup. It may be a bit older, but it was just moved from contrib this cycle. As a setup for urpmi, which is a cli tool, I wouldn't expect it to be core integrated into Mandrake's centralized GUI config system yet. Perhaps a separate menu entry under config, and moving it to main is certainly appropriate for this release, but integration into Mandrake's core config can and should appropriately wait until the next cycle, IMO.
