Yes agreed, I mean if you are proficient enough to want to micromanage what software is installed with your desktop then I am sure removing the metapackage is within your skillset too. Of course the metapackage needs to stay somewhat trim here, but that is fine too as I think the new Software installer will reduce the need for stuff to be pre-installed as we can give new applications visibility in the installer as opposed to having to default install them for visibility.
