I think it becomes pretty obvious that you are not in the mood to argue
about the topic you brought up based on outdated data. You also did not
responded to Ole's argument[1] that also tasksel-data has the same
"conflict" with policy you are blaming blends-tasks.

The fact that it is very clear (I do not see in how far repeating 'very'
makes things even clearer) to you is not really convincing. My summary
of the issue is:
* Holger does not like the look of presenting tasks as they
where half a year ago.
* The look was changed in the mean time since other also were
not happy and Ole has shrinked the length to an extend that
was considered sensible by those members of the Blends team
who cared.
* The Blends team is considering it important to present the
Blends as options to the users to pick from at install time
(as they pick from the set of tasks in tasksel-data). The
comparison is pretty valid since it makes sense to pick from
more than one Blend and the solution suggested by Holger to
provide separate installation media will not solve this.
* Valid reasons why blends-tasks are not included into
tasksel-data were given by Ole[1].
* The conflict with policy seems artificial to me and I have the
bad feeling Holger intends to hire people advocating his point
instead of answering the arguments given in the bug report. I
admit that's the first bug I'm involved that is brought up in
the CTTE and thus I might have a wrong impression but my gut
feeling says that its wrong to bother this instance with the
issue in the current state.
Kind regards
Andreas.
