Customising the Notes client install? Beware of this 'featurette' that we've just PMR'd

One of the things that we commonly do is to remove the 'Optional database templates' from the Notes client install. Users typically don't need a local discussion database template really!
HOWEVER - In Notes 8.5, if you remove 'Optional Database Templates' from the install, it will also NOT install localfeedcontent.ntf and roamingdata.ntf. That means the RSS reader won't work (ever!) and you won't be able to roam either!
These two databases are classified as 'OtherOptionalTemplates' in the MSI package, when really they ought to be 'CoreTemplates'. So, be careful removing the "optional" templates! I have asked our customer to PMR this as well, as I don't really think roaming or feeds are optional components!
