Any chance you could expand a little bit on why each of those packages would be useful to have on the Workstation image? For example, why is qt5-qtdoc included? Would any end user ever go to /usr/share/doc/qt5/qtdoc/ and read what's there, e.g. why-moc.html? Or why is qt5-qtx11extras there? Would we want to define qtx11extras as part of the base platform for the foreseeable future, given that we're slowly switching away from X11? I myself can think of three general reasons for including Qt packages: 1) To make sure we have all the required components installed for proper Qt app theming under GNOME Shell; 2) To make sure plugins, e.g. various image loaders are installed because apps are likely to not have explicit dependencies on those. 3) To define a base platform that 3rd party apps could rely on; we'd make sure to avoid breaking ABI once we define something as part of the platform.
