Because there's a big difference between an integrated, designed,
polished, documented and translated GNOME app and something that happens
to use GTK, right?

That's the distinction between Featured Apps and everything else in the world. Core is for, well, core OS and desktop functionality that everyone can't do without. The only thing requiring approval today is Platform and Core.

It certainly belongs in the apps moduleset where it is now so that it can facilitate easy jhbuilding. There's no approval required for the apps moduleset nor for Feature Apps (which is only a marketing distinction).

Boxes looks wonderful.
