But brasero (and ekiga), in my opinion, considered by many as inevitable evil, that nobody actually use, but should keep to make gnome suite look complete. In earlier times, when every laptop had a cd-drive in it, I tried to use brasero multiple times after every major gnome release, but it was so raw, unstable (or just incompatible with FreeBSD), that I always switched to k3b or just used dvd+rw-tools directly. Anyway, I don't call on removal of these ports, just ask to not install them by default, because right now for most of the users (imho) they do nothing except pulling unneeded dependencies. -- Regards, Ruslan T.O.S.
