Install Tweaks.

See, that's kind of the difference between removing infrastructure and
removing UI for it.

Even if you're removing infrastructure, we do have mechanisms and policies
for transitioning between the initial and final points: versioned
interfaces, soname bumps, new dependencies, deprecations.

What I've been asking is to come up with a process that lets us move an
application from core to third party, so that we can communicate this
appropriately to users and app developers alike. Because today is
Documents, and tomorrow is Music, and the day after that is Photos.

I understand that you're pissed because it seems we're doing backseat
driving on your maintainer role, but you're doing something that affects
the whole of the project, and that might happen again, so it's better to
have a process in place the first time—otherwise it *will* happen again and
we won't have a process at all.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
