That hardly answers it, and yet does.

Alright, then this question: Why isn't the gui an optional package?

Equally, does someone knowledgeable want to update that FAQ? It's
talking about Python 23 and 24, so it's kinda out of date; do those
same issues still apply, or are there new issues now in 26?
