See the last point in the list -> it would be part of the GNOME release, but
not in the "official", viciously exclusive way we define it now.

Whether we have a producitivity suite or whether we go for the maximally
inclusive option, there's no reason why these modules couldn't join the
release process at all. They just have to be proposed (but please don't do
that now, we really have to figure out how we're going to handle abiword).
