You're welcome to help out. However, our goal is not to select packages
that work for ourselves, but for the general newbie Linux user, so I
hope you have this in mind.

Would be better if we made it an option, since this would only be
interesting to some of our audio users, and then we have the other four
workflows - video, graphics, publishing and photography, where in no

I have some ideas on this. Will talk about that more in the future (in
the devel mail list).
