+> Drak3d : completly unnecessary today for Compiz (and Metisse seems to be
+on-stop actually, so no reason to maintain especially for it now)
+DrakDisk : partitionmanager seems to be not ready, not complete actually.
+gparted and Palimpsest are excellent (especially palimpsest) but DiskDrak
+stay the g best tool i know today
+DrakGuard : Absolutly wonderfull, a real "plus-value".
+Drakups : unnecessary today ?
+Drakfirewall : OK, but maybe integer outpout controll too is a good idea ?
+(and provide effortless arptables and ebtables looks ambitious ?)
+DrakSambaShare : initially a community addon from Mr Ginies (it think?) :
+really excellent tool too. But maybe unnecessary today (as draknfs) because
+desktop integration (and servers have admin)
+Drakbackup and Draksnapshoot : please remove
+DrakFax :  unnecessary today (desktop integration)
+Drakmenustyle : deprecated
+Drackoo : unnecessary today (libreoffice integration)
+Drakpxelinux : too strict on paths to be really used by someone who knows
+nothing about pxe and mdk/mdv/mga. Please remove.
+Drakvirt : superseeded by Redhat tool.
+Draknet* : please keep it. Best tool today (better than networkmanager for
+many thinks, and conman seems to be not finished today.) Ambitious to have a
+knetwaorkmanager port for draknet* ?
+
+Mes two cents.
+Regards.
