What constitutes bloat and distribution is a personal thing. At some point if
Haikuor any other light weight OS is to be other than standard means by some
that isno longer industrial. My thoughts are to make it usable, and man by all
means makesa tool like an OS usable. So many versions of UNIX/BSD layer have
various andsubtle differences without man standard most coming to Haiku will
question its powerout of box without man.

Bah, this is turning into 'should we include vim' all over again.
Personally I think that small comforts like vim and man should be included
by default... They are small in size and help UNIX and Linux folks cope.
Lets face it, it's more likely that new Haiku users will come from an
open-minded windows/Linux/BSD/UNIX/OS X world then a strict Windows, BeOS,
or Mac world.
Just my two cents :)
