No this is something else. Look at all the crap in match: and other. I do not think that regex is so large that it is a problem. There are so much other totally ***useless** things in the image that something useful would be really good. What we can do: is give it a try we do not have to be perfect the first time. Having a vision and path to achieve it should not hamper us to try and learn. Look at the use of MC :) Stef

I agree that we should make it clear what to start with (obviously the dev distribution). The list of packages seems ok to me, except for Regex.
What is your problem with Regex?
I think it should either be in core (as Marcus argues) or in no distro. The reason is that this is not a development tool but will be used as a library. Then if you deploy using the core distro, you have to load it anyway. And if we start to add Regex, why not also adding an XML parser? and package XYZ? So we end up accumulating libraries that blow up the image even if they are used only by few people. I'd like to control myself, which packages to make part of the application.
