There was a discussion held on IRC, about CSSU and it purposes - unfortunately, most people were not able to attend it, including me. Whole thing circulated about old dillema "Should CSSU only replace thing that can't work via extras, or scope of project should be wider?".

IMO, it's quite useless question, as path was set already. CSSU, for a long time, isn't only enhancing things that are non-extras-installable, but also provides FOSS replacement for already closed bits (see camera-ui), and, in longer timeline, may merge with kernel-power, creating Community Kernel & System Enhancement.

Of course, it's not going to include "every useful package in the world", but mainly replacement for system components AND FOSS replacements for closed bits. Generally, CSSU Team seems to use Common Sense (tm) very well in that matter, so i don't need reason, why someone should limit it.

At least, this is how I think it should be.
