This certainly works, but is it really a reasonable trade-off  in a developer context where things like compilers and interpreters are part of the very core? What role does Gnome Software play here? How fruitful is the idea to hide packages in this context?
Compiler and  interpreters i.e.Glade having GUI and implements app-data (supposedly mandatory starting on Fedora 22)  will be displayed on Gnome Software. Gnome Software is to abstract the package concept to only focus on applications accessible to desktop.
The recent inclusion of add-on on Gnome Software brings useful solution like installing Eclipse and select add-on like Java Development Tools.
