You are probably ignoring that many people are complaining about the presence of sendmail, bind, perl etc. in the base system from ages, indeed X and perl have been removed, and it is clear that the consensus is to make the base smaller not bigger. And frankly i have *very* hard time to think that a DHCP server in the base has any utility. why not maxima for example? I am interested in formal computation, you are interested in routers, another one likes images and would want gimp, and so on. -- Michel TALON
