Hm, I think that the completeness of lubuntu is quite important. We  
also aim at people who own an old computer and just want to write some  
letters and emails. Of course it's no problem for us to install games  
to our pc with lubuntu, but these people won't know how to do that.  
They will look for a 'games' section in the menu, and because there  
isn't such a section they will think that there are no games for  
lubuntu. Ok, there are hundreds of great games in the repos, but what  
if the users who never really worked with a pc won't ever look in the  
repos or even install something from there?
We don't need many games. We already had the topic, I think we agreed  
on one tetrisclone (tint?) one game with cards and maybe also xinv3d.  
They are lightweight, have no dependencies and are just some kb afaik.  
The people who use lubuntu for a server know how to remove the games  
if they don't want them, but many others wouldn't know how to add them  
if we didn't include them in the final distro. So in my opinion it's  
clear: two or three little games and everone will be happy :-)

Best regards,
Jo
