Seconded.  This really doesn't have any purpose for the vast majority of
people.  This app also would have no advantage to being in the core
GNOME desktop.  It makes a lot more sense to keep it as a third-party
(fifth toe, perhaps?) package.

Or perhaps GNOME can start shipping a "GNOME Extras" release, which are
apps that otherwise follow the GNOME release guidelines (thus ensuring
high quality) but which aren't part of the *core* desktop and
applications.
