Yes, I know the quote, it was me who quoted it in the first place. Add-on application software packages can mean almost anything, which is precisely my point - you interpret it in a very narrow way, and you are not accepting any comments on it. As for the other distributions, I thought we want to do something better/different. Other distributions do not do usrmove and we do, so what is the point in arguing with that?
