Don't forget that RPM changelogs have been deleted from specs in order
to save space. (I didn't even realize those were installed.)

I think the comment is halfway outdated: those GNOME apps were indeed
removed to save space, but I'm not sure that Matthias would put them
back even if there was enough room. None of those apps are really
necessary, and the plan is for some of them to be featured in GNOME
Software. So I don't think they're necessarily part of the Proper
Experience.

Anyway, I'm not fond of most of the other drops. LibreOffice Math, for
example, is not just some silly add-on program, it provides formula
support for LibreOffice Writer, which is disabled if you use the live
CD, but not if you install with the DVD. That's an important feature.
And dropping user help, especially for a complicated program like
Evolution, seems really excessive.
