i think your definition of "complete" differs from mine.
your list is:

>   ORBit 0.4.0

if this is the "complete" GNOME, people will certainly get confused
when they see the 30+ other files there!  and in which case, those
30+ files shouldn't even be there as part of the 1.0 distribution.
besides, without all the other "non-core" GNOME components and/or
applications, the above list of files isn't really selling/offering
much to the general/average user.
