It is not clear to me what should be part of the GNOME runtime/sdk and
should not. If it is based on stats about how many apps depend on a
certain library, ok. But only the GNOME core apps is not a lot to base
stats on. A library might be used by a lot of third-party apps.

Instead it would appear more logic to me that the GNOME runtime includes
"the GNOME development platform". As asked on another of my mails, I
don't know if such definition exists. It is anyway not explained at [1].
On bugzilla some products are in the "platform" category [2]. But I know
that the categories in bugzilla may not be very accurate.

So it looks a bit foggy to me.
