I, personally, can not imagine "living" with standard busybox and its limitations anymore. But can also live with ""optional"" installation, but would/do see this package as an (default) enhancement, also to CSSU.
Hi peterleinchen,
as you already noticed you can "live with" optional installation of busybox-power. That's your freedom of choice. You also mentioned that you "can't live" without busybox-power. Now maybe other users "can't live" without those 500k rootfs storage space. Keeping busybox-power optional is about their freedom of choice to keep those 500k free, as much as it is about yours to install busybox-power on top of CSSU.
That's one of highest principles in CSSU, not to force anything on users that they as well might decide on by themselves.
It about freedom of choice.

cheers
Joerg
