What's the problem with having a dedicated Astronomy spin?
The thing is that KStars is quite large (it contains a lot of data), as are
the other scientific applications when taken together. Having both on one
big spin is not necessarily the best approach.
I agree. The professional and amateur Astronomy community is a large
one, and having a spin targetting that community directly would be a
very good marketing move. I am very much for this (and not an
Astronomer).
