--- Comment #7 from David Levner <davidlevner@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I understand that the choice of a computer language is subjective. Many people
prefer Python, Java, Javascript, C, C++, and the list goes on. I have no
problem with that. (As far as I can tell, Python is installed by default. I see
it on my systems and I never explicitly installed it.)

It's not that Perl is so important. Fedora already installs a lot of Perl
modules by default because it's useful to Fedora. I have used Perl with Fedora
for over ten years and I didn't know that I needed to explicitly install it.
(Previous releases of Fedora probably installed more Perl modules and I didn't
notice that anything was missing.) Installing Perl and perhaps some other
languages by default would make Fedora more software developer-friendly. Or
maybe Fedora could ask during a fresh install how Fedora is going to be used
and suggest additional packages to install. Or Fedora could incorporate a
little AI and, based on what the users are doing with a system, suggest
additional packages.

I would like to take Petr's suggestion and move this "bug" to the comps
component so that the maintainers see it and make an informed decision. I can
live with "no" as their answer. However, I am not sure where to move the bug.
Is "comps-extra" the right component?
