The fact that you are not able to extract a particular file from a large e.g. zip file on a vanilla Ubuntu install is surreal to me and I think a big mistake.

Why is everyone so obsessed with making non-minimal installs minimal? If I that desperately want to save a few KBs of space, Iād start with a server build and manually install a GUI.
This change is horrible, and is YET ANOTHER thing I now need to tell newcomers to beware of. This hurts SSD writes and goes against 2 decades of muscle memory for practically zero gain. In fact, please enlighten me - what exactly is your perceived gain, here?

Moderator stepping in. This is a nearly two-year-old topic which is driving some vitriol and some borderline Code of Conduct violations. To keep this from escalating any further (and since this is a nearly two year-old proposal which is no longer a proposal since it was finalized and thereās no turning back (!), Iām closing this topic. Thanks for everyone who participated and didnāt throw flames. For everyone else, there was plenty of time to express your concerns, but youāre nearly two years too late now.
