I agree.  It would be nice to have an minimal package and
bells-and-whistles package.

While checking some things for GNOME 3.30, I (inadvertently) made a list
of all the “core” GNOME software that we are missing.  I thought I would
post it here just for the record.  I don’t know what all of these are,
but some of them look ripe for packaging.  :)
