Personally I would love to see WebPositive part of the default
packages/apps as it fully fits the Be/Haiku style. Even given WebPositive
slightly early rendering condition (this being said lightly, WebPositive is
in great condition for it early age), having an easily accessible web
browser is a must. As 95% of the new Haiku user base will look for/attempt
to crack open a web browser within 5 minutes of running/installation we
need to impress. :)
Having WebPositive would also allow users to read docs and thus discover
installoptionalpackage and the ability to install BeZillaBrowser.
