Glad to hear that, but it's not really a solution. In the past we had to
reduce the number of applications with every release because the
dependency footprint became worse and worse. Now we cannot even ship
gnumeric in the Xfce spin any longer. I am pretty sure our users don't
want us to spend the new space with an additional desktop they cannot /
don't want use.

BTW: FESCo started an effort to cut excessive dependencies. Looking at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=661442 you will
see that our GNOME maintainers are very unresponsive to the bugs we
file.

Christoph
