Why, yes, that would be the goal. Is there something wrong with that?
(You've essentially restated the goal without comment or data. How am I
supposed to parse that, other than just implied sarcasm?)

Well, that's a nice bit of assumption-of-stupidity invective there. Now that
you've insulted people, they will certainly all turn around to your point of
view!

(Then again, given you decided to post on upstream lists that, because you
don't like the activities design, they should start kicking the developers
responsible for GNOME 3 out of the project, I'm not sure I should be
surprised.)
