Just for the record, if you read my initial message and the log of the
last IRC meeting you will see that I am against throwing anything out,
or raising the bar for new games. My position is that we could have
500 games in the module, and distros/users would be free to pick up
the ones they like. However, other have different opinions on this,
that is why bringing this discussion to the list is relevant.
So you also believe Mancala should be included, if the points raised
(lack of KGameTheme and some others) are addressed?
