Apologies. To me it read like Ellis wanted to avoid making certain
substitutions for no apparent reason. I understand, that there may at
times be valid concerns w.r.t. having something as input, but rather
than talk about specific concerns, we just went in circles over what
"optional" means.

Fair enough, but I'd still like to raise a point w.r.t. frequency. If
most use cases were to somehow involve encryption, I still think it's
better to have it in by default rather than not. Unlike Debian, we
don't really have (and probably don't want) a "recommended packages"
field in packages.

Leo
