And I don't agree that it it the correct solution. You will just create big mess, duplications in tools.

You will create big mess. As I said, don't block them to install what they want. But don't bundle duplications. > Teach, not mimic.

If you want, I can resend it to all. No, there is no reason in his e-mail to increase quantity of tools, with similar algorithms, just with different interfaces.
