This is indeed something we should consider. People keep asking for
Open/Libreoffice or for Thunderbird instead of Claws, but these apps are
not that lightweight any longer.

On the other hand we will have plenty of GNOME refugees with Fedora 15
and should think about serving them, too, but without giving up the
prime directive of being lightweight.
