What if the user receives a Word document in email? Are we going to demand the root password and install OpenOffice? No, we must force OpenOffice to be installed at all times instead.
I think the battlelines over this issue change a bit since we are talking about something which affects network accessiblity... something 'implicitly' needed for common package management tasks in the distribution. We aren't talking about a file format support, but access to the network which will facility the ability to install additional software. I think the judgement to require the small extra dependancy at the packaging level is justified considering its connectivity impact. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
