I have nothing against features being available. They should be there when needed. But they must not stand in the way to work EFFECTIVELY. And removing things like handy terminal starter IS counter-productive for almost anyone. But we are supposed to subscribe to some more a couple hundred postings per day mailing lists to argue about it as our distribution vendor who is THERE to fit the rough pieces together so they make actual SENSE doesn't care. Except of course for things like a custom desktop background. That's important and a necessary deviation from upstream.
