Usually I think these kind of ramdisk issues become most important in
older ssd netbooks where one wants specifically to reduce write
activity, and while it may be a profile valid to consider for lubuntu,

Well, in all fairness, KDE has a very specific architectural vision,

Ultimately I think mplayer is a problem, at least from the perspective
of being an "official" variant, and especially with respect to codecs.
That being said, I am also aware many will choose to install mplayer if
it's not in the default install, as I am aware many use medibuntu repos.

This touches upon many areas. I will initially comment on a few. In
respect to SD cards and lower cost SSD media, I think there is a lot we
can do to better optimize the user experience, even from install time,
and perhaps Lubuntu is the right place to think about doing this first.

I see no reason Lubuntu for Karmic could not be called a beta or preview
of Lubuntu or similar.
In respect to qt, the toolkit itself is not that large. One problem is

It is worth noting that this is NOT a requirement for inclusion of

This question is also tied to the goal of shortening overall system boot

Absolutely. Not including something does not prevent someone from

I agree that xubuntu is not lightweight and app selection is key to
this, especially for those that will always execute. I think something
like connman or wics would be a better choice than network manager for
