Fedup to f20 didn't automatically pull down gnome-software

I assume it might breach some packaging policy, but why not have a 'desktop' rpm which requires all other packages we consider part of the desktop for a given release? That way when we add new applications like this we just add it as a dependency of the desktop package?

In the past, things like this have been kludged into anaconda. Is that
something fedup can do, and should it?
