Please downgrade gnome-terminal from a dependency to a recommendation

[Emmet Hikory]

Pleaes downgrfade gnome-termina from a dependency to a recommendation. There are a couple other libgnome terminals available, and those users who are particular about terminals tend to be very much so, to the point of only wanting one terminal application present in the menus. Given that using a terminal is ideally not a core component of the Ubuntu Desktop experience, users ought be provided with the same flexibilitity provided with games, web browsers, media players, or similar vertical solutions.

ubuntu-desktop only recommends gnome-terminal since at least trusty.
