I guess we have more than 1% of non-broadband users left, where the situation
is not fine. All those who want somekind of X support, without wanting to
install all of gnome and all of KDE and openoffice, and pass days downloading
over their slow modem link. Not to count those who have not enough disk space
for all of the above, but which would still like to have a basic X install,
and are not power users.
