Is anyone still interested in the original topic of this thread? If so, then here's an appealing idea. How about:

1. Remove the Ovi store and User guide apps. Both of them are dead web links.
2. Break all the unnecessary dependencies. Icons should be bundled with the application they belong to, not in a global "icons" package. An operating system does not need to include a chess game or even a media player. It could be argued it does not even need a file manager. All those can be independent packages.
3. Make language packs separate from the main package. It has already been done with zhzh, why not other languages as well?

What, it has been suggested before? Then it certainly deserves bumping!
