Bryan, thanks for starting this topic. Sorry for the late response. My
understanding is the only justification for xterm being installed by
default was for the FailSafeX feature which is no longer considered
essential for the Ubuntu Desktop. Therefore, I filed the User
Interface Freeze bug to drop xterm from the default Ubuntu 17.10
install as https://launchpad.net/bugs/1717946
