Except then GNOME guys like me don't want to use k3b. It's this kind of difference that's the reason Mandrake has so many CD burners in the first place, of course. I can see it can be an inconvenience to developers, but I also think in a way it's one of Mandrake's selling points; there's few other commercial distros with such a massive variety of packaged programs. I don't think it's a good idea to start a "thin end of the wedge" policy of reducing the amount of packages; in the end I think such a policy would lose more in lost sales than it would gain in reduced costs. -- adamw
