It is highly unlikely that fortune will make it back in to Core with its current quotes. If we had an assortment of packages of quotes available, then one which contains no controversial quotes could be included, along with fortune (or a similar program), in the Core. Additional quotes (including the current ones) could be provided through Extras or other third-party repositories. The first step would be to produce these packages. The second step would be to get them into Extras, and the final step would be to rally support for moving the key packages into Core. We must be careful not to offend users. Quotes that could be seen by anyone as offensive, or which may be protected by trademarks must be avoided. Clever puns related to Linux are the best candidates. Quotes like "There's no place like ~", while they may not be as interesting to many people, are unlikely to offend anyone. -Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes
