I think this is pretty key, particularily if the list includes 'kits' of
similar software.  Then the GNOME Foundation would be able to go to each
of the major distribution houses to say 

   "We think that your customers will be most happy with their GNOME
   experience if you ship GNOME 1.4, GNOME Office 0.9, GNOME Games 1.4,
   and the GNOME Internet Pack 1.4." 

Alternatively, vendors could go the www.gnome.org and see the list of the
GNOME 'kits' available with a description of the packages they include
(with version numbers) and a link to the latest release.
