The desktop task certianly does install KDE still, if it's available. The kde and gnome task split does allow one or the other (or both!) to be dropped from a CD and the desktop task still be installed but that and a clearer internal division of the two is the only reason for that split and I don't see any real benefits from splitting the language-desktop tasks. > 2) Include OpenOffice and Firefox l10n packages to ALL <language>-desktop tasks Agreed, if they're in a working state for all languages. > In the same time, I REMOVE mozilla-locale-<language> packages from > the *-desktop tasks which installed them, as the desktop tasks DOES > NOT install mozilla but "only" mozilla-firefox Fair enough. > 3) Include myspell-* packages to ALL <language>-desktop tasks > > myspell-* packages are needed for OpenOffice spellchecking.

The desktop task includes firefox for the same reason it includes openoffice: These are the clear leaders in their spheres of use, to the point that anyone installing linux will expect them to be available. AFAIK this is not true of thunderbord. -- see shy jo
