Impact ====== I'm proposing to drop the ImageMagick app from the default Ubuntu 17.10. It is visible in the Show Applications view of the Activities Overview so this could impact screenshots. Justification ============= imagemagick is a collection of commandline utilities for working with images, photos, etc. It is a required dependency for many things and will still be installed by default. Bundled with imagemagick is the "display" app, which is an app with an unusual, difficult-to-use UI. It was not intentionally included in the default Ubuntu install but was only there because it was packaged together. I am proposing splitting the display app to a separate binary package so that it is available for install for the few who do want to use the app. I tried proposing this to Debian. See comment #60 on the attached Debian bug but the Debian maintainer doesn't seem interested in accepting my proposal any time soon. (I emailed him directly a few months ago too.)
