Because FLOSS *is* about choice.
However... it is perfectly reasonable for a distro to say, "We can
not be all things to all people, so some limits have to be set, and
some users/DDs will be disappointed."

I've *got* to disagree here. If you're taking the responsibility to
search for and install apps, it is incumbent upon you to have *some*
basic knowledge of your system. Among the most important is whether
you have a GNOME/GTK or KDE/Qt system, and whether you run
gt; "media player daemon" may be confusing with mpd. "daemon which plays
> media in the background" may be better.
More importantly: what is the benefit of deejayd over any other
media player? *That* would be useful info for the Full Description.
