--- Comment #3 from Mathieu Bridon <bochecha(a)daitauha.fr> ---
Whether this should be installed by default or not is up to the Workstation WG.
Since I'm not a member of the WG I'm going to refrain from commenting on this,
and I probably shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place in my original
report, sorry about that.
The real issue here is that gnome-shell ends up depending on what appears as an
application in GNOME Software, and removing this application removes
gnome-shell.
GNOME Shell depends on the IBus library and on the IBus daemon. It does not
actually depend on this emoji chooser.
GNOME Shell is an OS component. OS components should never depend on optional
applications.
The packaging should reflect this, so that the emoji chooser can be
installed/removed independently.
I'd like to keep this issue on this specific point moving forward if you don't
mind, and this is what my pull request achieves.
The workstation WG can then decide whether they want this installed by default
or not independently.
All I want to fix in this report (and pull request) is the very big risk that
someone ends up with a system that doesn't boot to GNOME any more because they
thought they didn't need the emoji chooser and remove it. (like I did)
