I don't think that's really what 5th Toe is. Modules should try to be in 5th
Toe first, but that doesn't mean that everything in 5th toe will go into the
desktop.

So you have the software map on www.gnome.org if you don't want any implied
blessing of the modules.

I don't see any need for something between 5th Toe and the software map. If
you want 5th Toe to be something else, or better organised, then you should
work on that.
