I guess we have drastically different usages of brushes though.
I NEVER use a "brush of exactly 17 pixels". In fact, a brush of
"exactly 17 pixels" is pretty much useless to me. Most people
go by a visual cue instead of specific values, and you can't
see the exact size of the brushes in the list in the first place.

This is a whole different reason though.

It's not going to help if you oppose every attempt to help
instead of welcoming at least a step in the right direction.
Goodbye. I'm making my own ideal distribution and replacing
the default one with it with every new install.
