Maybe he's experimented with them and discovered that sable is the
best/easiest/whatever works for him. Maybe he likes the name. Maybe the
sable people are paying him off.
In any case, he's making the package and thus gets to make the choice.
If you want something else, then make your own congolomeration. I,
for one, would be grateful to have a "all-in-one" Java setup, instead
of having to pick through and figure out which packages I need, and
which work well together. If the package choices don't suit you, then
don't install it. Isn't that easy? I don't use xdm, and prefer rxvt
to xterm, but I don't try to tell Branden what packages to put in the
x-window-system package.
