Then maybe packagers should be using Suggests for those additional packages. Recommends to me means "the packager thinks the best experience includes this functionality." That is certainly still a tradeoff, but it is a much stronger implication on the packagers part. It also matches the later installation experience. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
