At CRUXCon, we planned to: - integrate this list in pkgutils - give no option in 'setup' to not install those - add a warning to pkgrm when you try to remove one of those (it should be possible, but require some additional argument to force it). I'd say we start by compiling a list on the Wiki, and link it from the package guidelines (and maybe the FAQ) once we get the impression it's fine.
