We've made a conscious choice not to offer multiple solutions to the same
need in the default desktop install.  This is advantageous for support and
usability as well as size.

The existing Ubuntu CDs are desktop-oriented in their contents already.
They contain only a small handful of additional packages beyond what is
included in the desktop install (some network tools, kernel headers,
ssh/apache/samba/postfix).
