Agreed.

If gnome-software is not a core app, then what would be a core app? Do
you not agree with Allan's proposed moduleset definitions? Under this
proposal, leaving gnome-software out of core would be to recommend that
downstreams not install it, and would imply that gnome-software be
modified to allow uninstalling itself... hence I think it clearly
belongs in core.

Good point. Let's talk about "moving" then.

See:

Hence my point that core apps should be allowed to use whatever
branding they want in the About dialog.

In my experience, the higher-level groupings in bugzilla only ever get
in the way, and a flat list of all modules would be much better (at
least for my workflows).

Yeah, that's true....
