+Uhmm, converse argument would that you want to make your life
+(and also that of other distribution users) harder because you don't
+want to be that consumer-like? Doesn't sound that reasonable to me,
+and please remember, it's not always plain black vs. white decisions.
+
+I can live without a get-teamviewer package, but just because of the facts
+that i'm able to install/troubleshoot it without help, because i know
+the tools to do this (rpm/urpmi) and doing that for a long time.
+
+In the end the question should be: Do we want to make the distribution
+just for ourselves, just for the sake of having "our own" linux distro,
+or do we want also some other people to use it, who aren't IT
+specialists, programmers or rocket scientists?
