Hello Jonathan,

The current policy for new games is that: "Gnome Games is a very large 
package and there is neither the room for new games or the time to 
maintain them."
So increased space of the gnome-games distribution, and the effort to 
maintain the current games are the current reasons not to include new games.

How would we decide in an objective way which new games to include?  For 
the time being, I don't think that we should change this policy.
