I agree with this. OSS PDF readers can't grant the rendering quality of
acroread in many cases (papers, e-books, ...). Acroread is provided also
by other distributions, and they don't receive complaints or bad press
about that. We should learn to ignore that kind of bad press: it has no
value.

This would just add other media, and we discussed in the past on how to
simplify our media offer. I don't think it is a good solution.

I think Mandriva pays for that.

Alberto
