Yes, and the same can be said about metacity (who ever uses that, Compiz is all the rage these days), nautilus (tons of dependencies and like, every true hacker should be using midnight commander anyway), evolution (*something* *something* gmail *something* clawmail *something*), totem (yeah I love my mplayers too)... Do I need to continue? While you might feel some specific hate towards Epiphany which I'm not in position to analyze (judging purely from the fact that pulling the monstrous libxul via yelp doesn't seem to concern you at all) - it's still a default Gnome browser and an integral part of the whole "desktop experience", as - as we all know - many desktop users use to browse the web sometimes. It's only perfectly reasonable to ship FreeBSD releases with this default, clean, light and secure browser, which, by pure coincidence, is also completely awesome and for many people that don't live in the "browser OS world", it's just THE brower they need and are happy with. So what exactly is your proposal? Ship gnome-lite just without every single end-user Gnome application, because there are people that don't use that particular one? It's called "gnome-lite", not "gtk-libs-only". Just my two cents. m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
