The problem is that it becomes more and more difficult to install a system without all sorts of (for me and others) useless components such as PA. The reason is lots of hard dependencies that should be optional extensions instead.
I'm asking this out of ignorance rather than rhetorically: How much of this is the distribution and how much of this is gnome? I know, for instance, if I install an Ubuntu or Mint system, they have these meta-packages that have all these dependencies to pull in, in this example, a complete gnome.
