Camaleón, I read all your posts, and agree to them all. But I have to say
I don't agree with you on this one.
For *this specific case*, I *do* consider the DD's reply being
"pointlessly abrasive, inappropriate and offensive". Giving such a jerky
backlash, do you think it will make any difference for 1, or 10 or even a
thousand Debian users oppose the DD's decision?

Totally agree. Also, please note, for this specific case, the DD doesn't
even have to get himself into trouble fiddling with the gnome-core
packages. Just put those off-loading packages into, say,
gnome-cd1 = GNOME installation designed to fit on one CD
Nobody would care which GNOME packages he think should go into CD 1, and
nobody would say anything.

Strongly agree. And headaches for tens of thousands of power users as
well.
