Joel, are you suggesting that we shold wipe out kmail in kubuntu and 
abiword in
xubuntu in favor of using evolution / openoffice (and much more stuff of 
course)
on all the three environments so they can fit on one cd?

If this is the case, well, that's a good point to start a nice flamewar. 
Can you imagine kde users clicking
on a url shown on gaim (a gnome app, which loads several gnome stuff) 
and then opening firefox by
default? Or even a xfce user (who's probably using a low-end machine) 
opening openoffice.org
when he/she clicks on a .DOC file?

Doesn't seem nice to me.
