Sorry, not going to change this.
Before moving to the "always give people X", we had way too many
people
choose badly and then struggle to install X after the fact.
Fair enough, I didn't know the history of this.
My own curiositiy, what was the struggle people had? I admit, I
might be
minimising the difficulty of searching via Google 'openbsd adding
sets after
install,' or perhaps there is some behind the scenes install bits
that I've
missed that do not take place when adding the set after-the-fact?
200MB on everyone's disk that they might need, or put up with people
who
have ADD?
We'll put it on everyone's disk...
The trouble I've had in the past wasn't so much needing X later, but
needing dependencies in the X packages later, FWIW.
