1 Mostly everything is configurable, and revertable as user - granted.

3 I'd like to see a announcement and an optional discussion on this list
4 if base profile gets changed [0] - current case bug 449364 [1].
5
6 I'm not opposed to the specific change, or base system changes in
7 general, but I don't like seeing them slip thru under the radar.
8
9 Just have the honesty and brin gsuch changes to public.

11 [In this case] having an working mouse copy'n'paste eases the way from
12 stage3 to a set up X server, X server tends to break, and it doesn't
13 collide with X anymore.
14 So it only needs <1MB data [2], which is very usefull editing stage3
15 with it's default editor - nano.
16 I see the point that's it's useless on headless virtual boxes.
17
18 my 2 cents.
