Should we have ppds in the 2006.1 profile, or 2006.1/desktop? |

There are *many* applications in the tree that do not use ALSA, but work |
| 12 |
only via the OSS emulation. Removing this is a bad idea and it would |
| 13 |
definitely be blocked by the games team. Probably half of the packages |
| 14 |
that I maintain require OSS capabilities. |

As for the others, they all seem reasonable. I've removed them from the |
| 17 |
main "USE" cluster in the x86/dev/2006.1/desktop profile, and into a |
| 18 |
separate grouping, so they can be easily removed, if that ends up being |
| 19 |
the decision. |

|

So does anyone have any objections to the others being removed? |

I won't, of course, do this retroactively, just for the 2006.1 and |
| 25 |
higher profiles. |
