+1

In fact, we voted in FESCo that it should be added to one of the base groups 
instead (@base, I guess). It makes no sense to have it in @gnome-desktop nor 
in the KDE .ks file (which is where it is at the moment – for KDE, it's in 
the .ks because we refused to add it to @kde-desktop as it has nothing to do 
with KDE).
