I raised the issue of default modularity when Robert posted the poll to gauge where the community were with respect to DSL's future (kernel version/upgrade, application upgrades, etc.). His response was that DSL had to be fully usable as a live CD.

Without getting into detail and thereby risking betrayal of confidences, I've continued to labor behind the scenes on a way to kill both birds (increased modularity and full usability as a live CD) with one stone. I'm convinced it can be done well. I don't know if it's the direction DSL wants to take, or, if it is the direction, if it's the right path/execution of it. Right now I have major time commitments with family and work, and my DSL priority is doing what I can to help Robert with 4.0.

Thanks for the suggestion lucky13. I was just really thinking about it as what seemed like a good idea...

It's one that's been expressed before. I deleted the page I posted at the time (poll) I made a big deal of modularizing DSL further. I can repost it if you're curious (still have local copy, deleted only from host) to see what I proposed. I removed it because some of the things I'd written (in later edits) were things I ended up working on behind the scenes and I didn't want to betray any confidences.

I agree with you in principle, but I respect Robert's and John's insistence that DSL be fully usable as a live CD. I think there's a way to accomplish both increased modularity AND keeping the live CD as usable/useful as it already is (if not more so).

Hi again lucky13,
    Thanks for the effort you are putting in. Don't worry about digging-up your old post - I'll just sit tight and wait to see what the future brings :) I should have done a search to see if the view had been expressed before.
