I don't know the discovery pack, but if it's something to take away
the choice from the user and make the desktop even more windows-like,
then I don't want it.

I'm not against toys, after all, I've done recent releases of
xscreensaver and rss_glx, fireflies and gdesklets for the contribs.
But this stuff isn't really useful, so if the space is restricted,
useful apps are more important.
And please don't mix up normal users with stupid users.
