One big difference between apps and platform libraries is that it's a
lot easier to drop an app from a future release if it turns out to
suck than to drop a platform library, given GNOME's compatibility
guarantees.

So while it's better to have a more open decision-making process,
using something like the GEP seems like overkill.
