But this is precisely the point of my response to Ian's previous
post...this is naturally based upon your assumptions about what the new
user 'needs'.
Actually, I see a correlation between the EPP packages and the top-10
popular projects on the downloads page [1]. Aside from BIRT and TPTP,
most of the popular projects are either a complement to an EPP package
or the core component of a package. Mylyn made the top-10 when 1.0 was
released some time ago. PDT wasn't 1.0 until recently, and I can see how
a PHP Developer package could be something useful for our users.
So it appears to me that the EPP packages are based on the reality of
what the new user is likely to 'want', taking into account current
download trends and project popularity.
