I accept most of them, but reject the ones dependent on a stock kernel (I
compiled my own) (e.g. kernel and modules), software that doesn't apply to
me (e.g. en_UK and en_ZA dictionaries), and software that something else
lists as a dependency but I'll probably never use (e.g. printing software on
a system or environment from which I can't print). Probably takes more time
to make the "want/don't_want" decision than it would take to download the
lot, but I hope the system is stabler and smaller as a result.
