And by decent discussion I mean somebody who actually argues the point for not removing it... Removing such an integral application without having a proper alternative (and I'm sorry, F-Spot ain't it) for something that is going to be used even less (ie. a video editor that is still by all independent accounts pretty immature) is really not a smart move in my eyes. And before I hear it again: This is not about accessibility of the GIMP. This is about the decision of removing a great app for very mediocre reasons .

Gimp is one of the reasons to carry an ubuntu cd around and one of the strongest demo points. If the cd is getting small, why not offer a taskselect type offer to download functionality after a new install is actually on the hard drive? FSPOT would have even higher visibility there than hidden in the applications menu on the install disk.

I support removing GIMP from default install. If the default install was from a USB thumb drive or a DVD then that would be different. Thanks for the videos.

The audio in the interviews is pretty dire really. The sound here is so much better than in the interview videos. The audio in the interviews is pretty dire really.
