Yes agreed, I mean if you are proficient enough to want to

what software is installed with your desktop then I am sure removing the

stay somewhat trim here, but that is fine too as I think the new Software
installer will reduce the need for stuff to be pre-installed as we can give
new applications visibility in the installer as opposed to having to
default install them for visibility.
Well, if fedup used yum instead of rpm directly, we wouldn't have this
problem in the first place but another related problem is that end users
don't usually understand meta packages. If I remove an application and it
shows say fedora-desktop (just a example meta package name) as a dependency
to be removed, I have no idea what that really means.
