I have to disagree on K3B. Writing a CD/DVD is a basic function and
should be supported out of the box. It was a welcome addition when users
could burn CDs on Windows without requiring any additional software.
We're not aiming to include only those packages that are applicable on
all possible hardware platforms, are we? In that case, things like
bluetooth support should be left out since most desktops don't have
them. I mean, why the unfair advantage for netbooks?
