[Bug 1956124] Re: wpasupplicant is a required package for most desktop metapackages

[Jeremy Bicha]

I believe businesses can create their own metapackages or have other
ways of providing system images.

Not having wifi connectivity is a critical bug for most people. Without
internet connectivity, it is really difficult to install the package you
need to get Wi-Fi working.

There are laptops without ethernet ports now.

Therefore, I'm closing this bug.

** No longer affects: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
  wpasupplicant is a required package for most desktop metapackages

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Many people and business not use or require wireless internet or WiFi
  encryption on many types of machines. They may actively not want their
  business or institutional environment to have access to WiFi at all
  where manual hardware removal is too much effort. Requiring these
  packages significantly increases the effort required to ensure their
  desires are enforced. For hobbyists or students using wired ARM or x86
  boards, such requirements increase the footprint on sometimes small
  eMMC or SD storage devices.
