I'm not a high level exec and I have been using a PDA for years. Anybody who does volunteer work, or sings in a chorus, or has family events can find it handy. My shift from Windows to Ubuntu has been greatly hampered by not finding a sync program that works. I use the Centro, which is equivalent to the Z22. I am waiting impatiently for someone to figure out how we can actually sync. In the meantime I have to keep using Outlook and Chapura on a Vista laptop. I've seen lots of claims for doing a sync, but not one of them has worked for me. So I'd like the bug work to continue, and I suspect there are a lot of people out there who would be disappointed in linux if no attempt is made to solve this problem.

I'm just saying that it's not necessary software for normal desktop use. For
business use by high-level executives? Yes. Other than that...?
It's not like we're talking about taking it out of the repos. Just there's no
point to it being in the default install when PDAs aren't something the
average person needs & uses.
VPN software was just an example of something that *is* necessary (for anyone
that telecommutes, for many university students...) and cannot be acquired
from the repositories without a second already-set-up computer. If we prune
the unnecessary junk like this, the things that unblock repository access can
be included.
Oh, and I'm guessing sudoku is part of the gnome-games thing. Would be nice
if that package was split up. Some of those games, I wonder if anyone ever
plays.
