Given the present situation:
- Has any Spin found the present situation unduly restrictive?
- If so, how specifically?
A spin is defined as installable Live-CD. This means it must ship anaconda and firstboot. firstboot requires system-config-keyboard requires metacity requires GConf2 and tons of other GNOME stuff. There are other dependency chains as well (e.g. notification-daemon), but this is the worst one.
I'm not sure what your objection is here. Are you objecting to the fact that it must be a LiveCD, the fact that the LiveCD installer uses anaconda/firstboot, or the dependencies of anaconda/firstboot?
Or maybe just the requirement that the LiveCD must be installable?
