This idea got rejected from the mdv people with the argument that there are already too many task metapackages. It was difficult to get a common opinion on it by the musicians anyway, but finally the most useful division would be a bit in the sense of the current task-sound-studio, i.e. use cases: Audio recording, Audio synthesis and composing, live tools (loopers, etc..), sounds (soundfonts in particular which are large data files), video?.<br>

IMHO the most important thing is to make a basic package that works.<br>

installing individual packages.<br>
