Would need to find out how many are still using gnome1 only and which of
the gnome1 apps are still being used. I know I use Kino and they are
not in any rush to convert.

Also need to determine if gnome only apps should be in the gnome section
or if they should be split out to the other sections. And should that
include those considered to be gnome core libs and programs. Not sure
how others look for programs they want to install. I wouldn't mind
seeing a split such as:

gnome-libs
gnome-apps
gnome1-libs
gnome1-apps


Like I said, I think it'd be safe to remove gnome1 apps that have gnome2 equivalents already, we can leave the current gnome1 applications that don't have an equivalent. But then you may have been implying some people may use gnome1 exclusivly, and not have updated to gnome2 at all? I personally feel there is a point at which we may need to say we won't support gnome1 any more than necissary. Maintaining older applications that have been updated to gnome2 just seems a bit more work than its worth. I'm not saying get rid of the applications that haven't been updated, just the old applications that have been updated.
