It appears that this module strongarm defines a set of default settings for all of the modules that are dependency. Looks like a clean way to "turn on" these modules "with smart defaults."
The thing is it requires all those modules as dependencies add it itself as yet an extra module. I have enough modules as it is, don't need another one. Module makers should consider this before creating a new one.
It might be more convenient if this module included the other modules with it for the sake of file organization. Like the meta module now includes page title module.
The Drupal goal should be to have as few modules as possible, seems like to make Drupal halfway decent one would need close to 80-100 modules, that's insane. I don't believe it's possible to have less than 35 modules and have a fully loaded CMS, sure its functional but thats only the base functional. With Wordpress 15-20 plugins is all you need to make it sing.

dave reidThe adminrole module adds its own user role anyway, so it's not really like thats a new feature.

This module looks like pure configuration.

nedjoThe answer is, little as yet ;) Of all the Debut features, this is the slimmest.
I've updated the module description to make this clear. Also removed the administrator role, allowing adminrole to create it.

nedjoRemoved snapshot release until this feature is more useful.
