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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956124 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.
