> How many people would know what Lynx is. My guess is very few.
And mine is that it's more than you think. Especially when compared to the number of people who know what vi is. Neither of us have figures to prove our points. My indirect argument was that the fact that lynx is included by default hints that I am not entirely wrong.
Your response to that is essentially that distros packagers don't know what they are doing. I won't get in a debate on the competency of people and accept this opinion as yours.
> You took my argument and basically butchered the main point.
This was absolutely not my intention. If I misunderstood your point, please correct me and tell me how I should have read it.
> Its trivial to understand why this is a bad argument (appeal to emotion)
No. The argument for including software that have specific accessibility features is not to appeal to your emotions. The reason for having accessible software is that, as niche as it may be it is useful. No one should care how non-disabled users feel about this, and certainly no one should care whether you or I think this is too niche.
