We considered that option, but it's not just about the desktop install - you need a default set for a default install, or the entire world is going to set fire to you because cron isn't there by default any more. And once you've got a default set for the default install, why not just do it at the package level and ensure some level of consistency? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
