This is not necessarily proliferation if it has a legitimate purpose
for the user needs. Maybe this could be merged with other existing rt
kernels.

If that makes for a really big issue for the final repository index
files in the end, then it may be a good reason to have a music studio
derivative distribution. Or find another solution?

&gt;&gt;<i> - provide a script or someting like that, that scanns and adds sound

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> and other places

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> stuff.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Good luck with deciding what is &quot;good and necessary&quot;. You will always

</I>
Nothing will ever please everyone. But it's good to have a
recommandation/selection of whatever works best/best fits some
purpose, to avoid having to test everything everytime to have a
working setup; here a music studio.

So this may not be the best way to put it (using a rpm task), but it
looks like it. Having a basic recommendation set for a particular
purpose, on top of all available software in the distribution, does
not sound bad to me (further than that, having a way to
customize/store/retrieve this set).

Althought trying new stuff is great too, there are times you prefer to
focus on production and just install/restore tools that just works,
without taking too much time in this.

(we're not to the point of having something like a allmyapps.com
equivalent though).

&gt;<i> And secondary, I think we should also try to avoid having too much task-
</I>&gt;<i> rpms. Their values is in the fact they allow to quickly install a set of
</I>&gt;<i> rpm without searching in the whole set of rpm.
</I>
Indeed.
