# --- Rationales:
#
# aaa_solibs: A shitty "fix" for a non-existing problem. Includes old libraries which might be vulnerable. Old software should just be rebuilt, and I can resolve library dependencies for myself, tyvm.
# MPlayer, sox: Need a rebuild to work without PulseAudio, and I don't use them anyway.
# seamonkey, seamonkey-solibs: No particular reason, I just don't use it, and it's big.
# ttf-indic-fonts: Winetricks doesn't like it.
# getty-ps, lha, unarj, amp, trn, font-bh-ttf, font-bh-type1, xfractint, xgames, xv: Blacklisted by FreeSlack, and I don't need it.
# twm: Requires font-bh-ttf and font-bh-type1 in it's default system.twmrc, is old and I don't use it.
#
# -- Replaced:
# slackpkg: slapt-get
# pulseaudio, alsa-plugins, pavucontrol, pamixer: ALSA
# NetworkManager, ModemManager, mobile-broadband-provider-info, network-manager-applet: dhcpcd/wpa_supplicant
# elvis: vim
# rxvt: rxvt-unicode
# gcc-go: go (They actually conflict)
#
# -- Optional:
# elilo, lilo, syslinux, grub: Uncomment the ones not used.
# k, d: Only needed if you need to compile programs.
# openssl-solibs: Useless if n/openssl is installed.
# glibc-solibs: Useless if l/glibc is installed.
