Sure, I can think of reasons why I would want chromium with -cups, but |
| 20 |
the whole point is to target the TYPICAL user. And the context here |
| 21 |
is servers - how many servers would have chromium installed with |
| 22 |
-cups? If anything I'd expect more servers to have CUPS installed |
| 23 |
than chromium in the first place. |
