Just because something is useful does not mean it is necessary for survival.
Unix also survived without udev or Gnome.

You have a valid point there and gave me a new idea how to simplify.
I think space is cheap. If you said Debian wants to be more than just a
collection of packages and envstore does not qualify, that would be a useful
argument ;)
Also, I do not want to tread on the internal affairs of the FTP team - but I'd
rather envstore was rejected in the first place, than being accepted and
suggested for removal afterwards.
