Given the support requests that still come in, and the fact that sage-
devel is (like any other developer list) notoriously populated by early
adopters, I'd say it's unlikely we should make sagenb optional. Early in
my work with Sage I had so many questions from people who wanted to use it
but we didn't have an automatic Maple or Mma translator, so they were not
interested - sunk effort. I'm pretty sure there is a sizable (not on the
order of Maple or Mma users, of course) contingent of people with the same
sunk effort in sagenb. I do plan to look at the converter to ipynb ticket
this summer, since I see the way things are going, but removing sagenb as
standard makes no sense, because the people most likely to use it are the
people least likely to have the infrastructure to add it back in (Windows
and Mac binary users). (A "personal" version of SMC would not be amiss in
that discussion either, so people don't always have to be online to use
their Sage, but that isn't for this ticket.)
