Fedora is planning [1] on trimming out some of the games installed and
perhaps creating a "games-extra" package which would contain all those
other games.  Basically we're looking to have one of the "best of breed"
of each category of game.  We're also looking to include a few new games
as well.

Our list is something like this:

  - Monkey Bubble
  - Neverball
  - Tuxracer
  - Iagno
  - Mahjongg
  - Solitaire Games

Callum, we'd love to work this upstream instead of always chopping up
the gnome-games module ourselves.  I know gnome-games itself is a lot of
work for you to maintain and it might be harder to have an extras
package without someone else taking over the extras.  But I believe
Ubuntu is going to be doing the same thing to trim out their games menu.
Last I talked to Jeff about this we had a similar set of games we wanted
to keep and push the others out to a "gamers" package.

Just to note, we're coming from a "Axe of most of them" angle so that a
large number of people will have scream bloody murder to keep any one
game and they'll have to agree on another game that we could drop in
order keep that one.
