As I read through maw's excellent worksheet yesterday, I found some packages of questionable value to the main distro so I thought I'd propose some actions for those. Please let me know of any feedback. Need volunteers for the testing section, speak up its easy to do!
Needs testing for review: gaim-galago (does it work with pidgin?) gnome-netstatus (does it work with NetworkManager at all?)
Move to GNOME:Community: conglomerate (no new releases in 2.5 years, not installed by default) gnomeicu/icu (is this widely used given we have pidgin?) fyre (not installed by default) gqview (yet another image viewer) libghttp (nothing depends on this library)
Drop entirely: glade (obsoleted by glade3) gnopericus (obsoleted by orca?) metacity-themes (not sure this was ever used except internally) libgnomeservice (nothing depends on this library)
