Seems like as only 4 to 6 posts ago everybody was really busy finding arguments why we can't do exactly this giving users a choice. Since 18 months I get flames where users worry about workload of devels and devels worry about percentage of users interested in such freedom of choice and nobody worries about the CSSU chief maintainer and what he declared is our official policy and path ahead, 18 months ago. And some continuously call me all kinds of names for my silly figthing for the most natural thing in FOSS ever: allowing users to select their own arbitrary set of packages to get installed on their system.
You ask why the tension? Because I'm really kinda stressed about all that odd mindset.
Happy that you as well as Ade finally agree though. :-)
