I think that when you say "extra apps" you are meaning that it is not needed 
for the desktop to work properly.  For example, I don't NEED GnomeICU for 
Gnome to work correctly.  But IIRC, you do need a windowmanager to work 
correctly.  I agree that we should not show favortism or anything.  But I 
feel that if we exclude Sawfish, we may get a user here or there saying "The 
windows don't have borders.  How do I fix this?"
