Comment 2 for bug 1764596

Hi Michael,
  I would be happy for apps to be downgraded to Recommends, if you have a look at the seed[1] alot are already marked recommends (Recommends are the ones marked like "* (gnome-weather)". Overall the selection that are marked Recommends is a little inconsistent and this could certainly be cleaned up a bit.

If you would like to prepare a patch or Merge Proposal, would be happy to sponsor it for you.

As a side note, one thing we has planned to do for a long time, but no one has ever got around to doing it. Is to split the parkageset out into seperate core and apps packages.
