    I see two reasons for a "nay" vote: If we put everything a group of people
    find useful in the base system, we're going to end up with soemthing like
    Redhat, where there's tons of software the rarely gets used. Secondly,
    some 'customers' have a very dim view of sudo (mostly for bad reasons, but
    they ban it anyways).
