Here's my rationale for wanting some fink packages to be removed (or a system-foo package created??):Sorry that's nonsense. None of the packages you list should be removed. In many cases the versions provided by Fink are newer. Even when at some point apple matches our versions, we updated them far more often. Also, we support Darwin, too, which does not necessarily ship with all of the libs OS X ships with. There is nothing to be gained by not providing these libs, but a lot of flexibility lost. Plus whenever Apple drops one of the libs/packages in question, we'd have to reintroduce support for them.
Forget it.
Maybe in a few cases adding system-foo packages maybe be sensible *and* possible at the same time, but for most (all?) of the packages you list, this is not the case.
