Several of us discussed David's proposal and the remainder of this 
thread at a meeting earlier today.  Given the team's time constraints 
and priorities at the moment, we'd rather minimize the change in the 
package list on the CD for this preview as we have very little time to 
pull together a lot of updates to the ongoing development, but we'll be 
attempting to do two things:

- remove SUNWgimp, in order to free up space for experimentation with 
other components
- add NVDAgraphics to improve the user experience

The Slim Install team still owns an action item to propose the criteria 
by which we'll evaluate the CD contents; hopefully we'll have that soon 
and then it'll be a less arbitrary discussion.
