Are you saying that because of these mails you will show those kdeedu 
guys? What kind of silly threat is that? This is an emotive terrain as 
any project lead should know. Your role in this type of issue is to 
quell flame wars if they become unhealthy, not intensify them with 
threats of "reconsidering your opinion". It serves only to polarise the 
community still further in what is in any case a storm in a tea cup. Or 
perhaps you have been waiting for just such an opportunity to create a 
catalyst for your intentions? Perhaps you can clarify your meaning 
behind such an inflammatory statement, since you are indeed in a strong 
position to exclude an app from Edubuntu.

... on the other hand, how about the DVD/multiple CD version of Edubuntu 
that some of us have been calling for since day one of this list. Then 
there'd be space for so many more great apps. That's what this argument 
should bring about in my view.
