"Needed" would be a strong word. Ever seen a BSD break because of tiny

You are right, the system should have the "ability to install games".
But shipping the ISO with those games increases the size of the ISO and
make the build time longer, not much but it's a step in the right
direction.

3.7M .
Yes, they take up _alot_ of space </sarcasm>.
As David just posted, its better to use our time to code/fix something
useful rather removing code that doesnt bother us at all.
