I totally understand your point of view, but I don't agree with doing a
system that offers nothing by itself to advanced users (less when talking
about a great functionality and a GNU/Linux system).

I just put in consideration to the whole team that we can offer a default
config that works for everyone keeping the ability of doing more
personalized stuff to our advanced users, and if we can do it adding cool
stuff, we should do it.

I think we all exposed our arguments.


Cheers,
Miguel Castiblanco
