Could you please write F22 Change proposal - I can see it could be
a bit controversial as removing half of applications could be considered
like quite a lot. On the other hand it would allow us to track where we
are and in the end, if it would be reasonable amount, I don't see any
problem with it. Link the wiki to change proposal or it could be used
instead of the wiki page you mentioned to have it on one place. 

Even I don't use Gnome Software, it's really very useful thing to
have high quality app data for other uses, so thank you!
