we're going to be careful :)

me too. But we can't expect that from all users, unless we agree that we
are not going to target newbies. Xfce has historically been a more techie oriented
desktop but the way it looks and behaves now (except with small defects) it
deserves apps of similar quality bundled with it.

I think brasero in default is better than xfburn. I'd say nothing in default is better
than xfburn. So are we going to not provide a CD burning app because the one we'd ship
does not fulfill our current criteria of dependencies?
Not an easy solution I agree.
