Hi, As the lynx maintainer, I've demoted lynx to optional and, with the permission of the w3m maintainer, promoted w3m to standard (and some library packages it depends on). Much as I love and use lynx myself, I think it's past time a text-mode browser with better table support is made the default. (I'm assuming this will be relatively uncontroversial, but if I'm wrong, this can always be undone.)
I agree, that lynx is somehow past thing, and is not really friendly to the end-user. But why w3m, and not e.g. links (eLinks acctually)? What really important advantages it has against links? As I noticed, w3m can't render page while downloading, and user must wait to finish, if he wants to see the page.
