First let me start off by saying that I have a lot of respect for the FTB team, you guys have done great work in the past and I enjoy many of the packs and maps made by you.
That said, I had high hopes after reading the post about the inclusion of "Kitchen Sink" packs. Then we come to infinity and I feel let down. Sure it has a lot of mods in it, including all the staple mods; However, it is still lacking in a lot of areas. One of the main things I had hoped would make it in is more tech based mods that focus less on ore processing and more on building. PneumaticCraft alone would have been a big improvement. I'm not sure if this is all the FTB teams fault or if mod authors play a role here as well. I think a good portion of this is on the shoulders of mod authors for there not being a lot of mods that do these sort of things, and of course there is the issue of permissions. (Also before people come in and say that I should look at Resurrection, I have and it share the same issue though to a lesser extent. Also its built around gregtech which is a mod that you either love or hate)
All in all, I am happy with the direction the team is heading with the returned inclusions of "Kitchen Sink" packs. I just wanted to express my opinion on the current packs, in hopes to give the team so ideas of types of mods to add.
