I'd like to add here that I personally like the idea around this spin,
but I would want it to live up to that idea. Just providing a
collection of privacy packages installed by default is great, but it's
not going to lead to a good experience or meet users expectations. 

Ideally it would not only install those packages, but configure them to
a default to privacy setup. Additionally making some other changes from
default desktop settings to do that as well. This is something that
could be done in the spin %post or the like (all the other spins setup
various config there), or perhaps in a seperate package like a
'netizen-privacy' that makes those changes. 

So, you not only include say tor, but you setup the browser to use it
by default, etc.
