There is a trend at the moment to remove things from OE-Core. That is
well and good but the question is where to draw the line. I do want to
ensure we keep at least some cross section of software in the core so
that the core can be stressed in a variety of environments.

I'm not saying gupnp shouldn't move out however I do want to figure out
what is going to stay in the core that we can test with. Obviously
things remaining the core really do need end user apps that we can
stress them with.

I was a little sad to see gthumb being removed for example as we now
have no image viewer in the core. It was also a larger gtk app so
stressed more of that side of the apis. I took the patches as it
probably does belong in meta-gnome. How do we test the various image
decoding libraries are in fact working though?

Food for thought...

Cheers,

Richard
