OVM is content which is useless without code that can deal with it. There is a lack of opensource code to deal with it. Therefore it is useless in our out-of-the-box distribution. What you're arguing about here is that open source code exists whose primary purpose is to download things from the internet. None of that is impacted by whether the content being downloaded can be viewed out of the box or not. Note that I disagree with FESCo's decision on OVM so I'm not necessarily any better at interpreting how FESCo's decision affects other packages than you. -Toshio
