We are talking about so much infrastructure that it isn't fun. It's also
bad from an infrastructure point of view: Bloat "just" for political
reasons. Actually, I really dislike that approach. One project that
has similar problems is ghostscript (gpl) and the rather ugle things
hp is (was?) doing to attach proprietary drivers to this software.
