Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Missing items - 1.8.0-RC2

  While I in general agree with your statement, the reality is that  
right now nobody is helping me with this project.
So unless we get more people to actively help maintain DL, I have to  
make decision that will allow me to still keep it going. Some of those  
decision might very well be removing software.

So stop making demands and start helping with the project. ;-)
