If (as it does now) that means some people have to keep it installed even though they don't want it, then too bad; it's simply more important to get it installed by default. If someone fixes it so there's no tradeoff (we can get it by default, *and* you can uninstall it), then fantastic; of course nobody will object. A "requires(missingok)" sounds fine to me, but the anaconda guys are the ones whose opinion counts. Havoc
