As far as being essential... that's why it is an "optional" package. If you
don't like it, don't install it, I am not forcing it on you.
I guess it could be installed into demos... but I like to think of it as
more than a demo, you can pick colors that you like, save them in the color
wells and the drag and drop them where you want them so it has some real
utility. For instance by dragging colors to the Desktop you can change your
desktop background color, by dragging onto Deskcalc you can change it's
color. Any app that accepts color drops. I think demos is more for things
we include by default that are cool and look nice but don't have any real
purpose other than to show off.
It also could be confusing to the user if an optional package installed
into demos since it would be the only one.
Well, that's my opinion anyway. In the end it is a judgement call.
