What do they say? "Over my dead body" ;-)
I'm indecisive about telnetd/ftpd, but ssh/sshd is a must - not because 
"every user needs it", but because "many apps rely on SSL/SSH 
functionality".
Also *right now* I also want telnetd/ftpd for testing purposes on the 
image, although they don't have to end up in any distribution.

Sure, a remote desktop capability would be great, but unless app_server 
supports it directly, I am certainly against putting something like VNC 
into the game by default.

Bye,
