I'm also a little concerned here. Informal questionnaires like this are always going to attract replies from proactive individuals who have a specific interest in pushing whatever the questionnaire is talking about. Out of all the replies, almost all of them have been from people who follow some type of religion. It's important to take this into account. I am not religious in the sense of following a predefined path of religious guidance. However, I am not against the idea of others following religion if their activities do not affect others. Unfortunately, this goes against much of the grain of Christianity, which grew largely due to the activities of missionaries "converting" people. It could be construed that the inclusion of specialist software such as this would be the start of such a mission. I'm afraid that my view on the inclusion of religion based software tools into a distribution such as Mandrake is not a positive step. It would be far better to set up a non-official Mandrake supporters web site for religious software, where the users are responsible for the maintenance of a set of RPMs that install correctly on each distribution of Mandrake that is released. Such a web site could also provide links/files to the texts that you speak of that are required for the software to be any use. Since it would be necessary to downloaded these files, it would make sense to put the software RPMs there too.
