         | Maybe if by "brave choices" you mean "finding creative new
         | reasons to remove things", e.g. (in no particular order):
         | 
         | - https://www.hyperbola.info/news/removal-of-php/ (no PHP)
         | 
         | - https://www.hyperbola.info/news/end-of-java-openjdk-support/
         | (no Java)
         | 
         | - https://www.hyperbola.info/news/end-of-d-bus-support/ (no
         | DBus)
         | 
         | - https://www.hyperbola.info/news/no-support-for-sudo-and-
         | orie... (no sudo)
         | 
         | - https://www.hyperbola.info/news/no-support-for-projects-
         | with... (no rust, no Chromium)
         | 
         | Perhaps in a few years Hyperbola will reach its final, perfect
         | state: a distribution which contains no packages at all,
         | thereby providing users with a perfectly Free and perfectly
         | secure system.
