I'm wondering, too... ;-)

As I see it, the main reasons are the ability to do it by Pakfire and -
perhaps - historical reasons(!?).

The first things I noticed when I started with IPFire (~2011), were the
multimedia addons (see: https://wiki.ipfire.org/addons).

Who in god's name *needs* (and *wants*) "jukebox features", a "server
for streaming MP3- and OGG-files" or "video recording" - plus more - on
a *firewall*!?

I saw this and thought: "Ok then, this is a *bit* different from IPCop,
but what the heck. After all, you're not forced to install this cr** -
its in your own responsibility.

If it were up to me, these addons could be removed completely.

Let the discussion begin... ;-)

Jm2C!

Best,
Matthias
