According to David Chisnall on Mon, Jun 02, 2014 at 04:27:23PM +0100:
> Yes.  If you want to have the graphical versions of everything on the server, then there's nothing stopping you from using the default package repository.  THe use case for the proposed no-X repo is installing a headless server where you won't be doing X forwarding, and so want versions of tools that are command-line-only.  If you're explicitly choosing not to install the GUI for Vim, the odds are you won't want Firefox either...

Seems logical, yes :)

Thanks.
