I had a few comments last time we discussed it -

Re-reading these, my main concern continues to be that nobody is sitting
down and holistically thinking through the control panels as a whole,
how they appear in the menus, where each setting lives and how the user
finds it.

Not a problem introduced by the system tools, but here is the thing:
it's the main problem including system tools in GNOME could _solve_,
that we can't solve easily in distribution-specific tools.

My secondary concern was that some of the system tools didn't make sense
to me, though I haven't checked whether they are all still included. So
I do think we should consider them one at a time, not as a bundle.
