I understand , appreciate and love forking - thats why we have such
diversity. So maybe we can let Ubuntu keep their 1 cd space norm and
continue dropping software - and we can just move to a fork which provides
us with much more - Linux Mint (Version 8 Helena is just released) Ultimate
etc etc.

And when we promote Ubuntu we no longer do so with the default CD but look
for a more complete one.

Am wondering - their dropping GIMP means that it will not appear on their
edubuntu cd either - what a way to non-impress people.
