Uhmm, converse argument would that you want to make your life
(and also that of other distribution users) harder because you don't
want to be that consumer-like? Doesn't sound that reasonable to me,
and please remember, it's not always plain black vs. white decisions.

I can live without a get-teamviewer package, but just because of the facts
that i'm able to install/troubleshoot it without help, because i know
the tools to do this (rpm/urpmi) and doing that for a long time.

In the end the question should be: Do we want to make the distribution
just for ourselves, just for the sake of having "our own" linux distro,
or do we want also some other people to use it, who aren't IT
specialists, programmers or rocket scientists?
