Oh this thing, and of course it is amazing and popular. But removing it caused so much pain, it's like pulseaudio and asahi all over again. My gripe is desktop developers and maintainers have this mindset that "users need this stuff, even if they don't want it we will make sure they have it and things will break otherwise". My wish/hope is for stable/well supported distros like debian to have good support for "minimal" versions of popular DEs.
