The plan, I think, is to extend Nautilus's preview functionality to
the point where standalone viewing apps (eog, evince) are no longer
required in the default install. However, while there is the
possibility of this happening at some point in the future, we don't
have a clear time frame for when it might land. It might not happen in
time for F22, in other words.
