Hi,
Currently about half of the GNOME core apps are unremovable in GNOME
Software. It's the set of apps that are not new additions to core over
the past two years, but at this point that's entirely arbitrary. So we
need to find a better criterion for determining what should and should
not be unremovable.
In the interests of allowing users to replace core apps with their
preferred alternatives, I'd like to propose that only the most
essential applications -- stuff that cannot plausibly be packaged as a
properly-sandboxed flatpak -- should remain unremovable. Specifically,
I propose that <mandatory_for_desktop>GNOME</mandatory_for_desktop> be
removed from the appstream metainfo for all of our apps except the
following four:
* gnome-screenshot
* gnome-software
* nautilus
* yelp
This matches one of Javier's proposed moduleset changes [1].
Thoughts?
Michael
