Why is Terminal 'extra' ?

Installed 698 (using 'olpc-update' from Joyride).  There was __no__ 
Terminal activity anywhere (that I could find) in the newly 
installed 698 image.

I happen to *require* using the command line to set my environment. 
  After boot, had to use a console terminal just to see what was what.

[There was the "footprint" of Terminal in Journal, from the last 
time Terminal had run.  But it could not be "restarted", since it no 
longer existed.  (Betcha you'll get help requests about this.)]

Found it simplest to reboot Joyride (which was already set up for my 
environment), in order to download Terminal and install it in 
/home/olpc/Activities.

If there are users in Peru with requirements like mine, will they 
have to go through hoops (to get Terminal) like I did ?
