We'll find that a lot of useful but low profile packages have been removed to make room for the 100's of megabytes used by mono and the mono-based packages that duplicate the functions of existing packages.
Just like with a Wikipedia article, MS is able to dilute a full distro. We can make room for more functionality to the basic installation CD by clearing away mono and its dependent packages .
Unless IBM issues a statement (admission) to the media or issues WARN notices (in the US), the lousy media will simply assume - however wrongly - that nothing is happening and there's nothing to report
Any day that passes without European media and European politicians doing anything about it merely discredits the media and the EU (or national governments)

A 650MB CD can only hold so much redundancy.
