Seems to be a good idea, I just thought of including Mozilla Control, because it is a very basic application. Some people even need a webbrowser to set up their firewall/router... so that they can access the internet. This aren't many people, but you never know who uses this OS. And I didn't want to include Mozilla control in trunk, just in branches like the one for 0.3.0, at least at this point.

+1 to that. I'd like to keep the boot CD simple by not including
every open
source application on earth. You get an OS (Core ReactOS), not a Linux like distribution. It also makes regression testing easier as you need to download less from http://svn.reactos.org/iso. It also requires less time to build them. Then there is the FullBootLiveCD which would be more similar to a Linux distribution with third party applications. There is however, depending on the number of applications, a lot of work maintaining these packages. I think if there is no one to maintain a particular application, then it should be dropped from the distribution. I think it is not fair to the users to receive outdated software, possibly with known security vulnerabilities.
