 does voting really get the community input?. how do you determine
that?. does the current community want the same things a future
community of users would want? and so  on. You will never get the
ideal set of applications *you* want anyway

pico was part of pine and when they changed their licenses it was
dropped. grub is better than lilo in many ways. wine was dropped due
to "developer restraints", probably a support issue

I have already said this but I would repeat again. The core can only
contain applications that is well maintained and supportable. what
users want is only part of the equation.
