I'm unsure about this really. It feels like a corner-case and would be a
very small user group. I am unsure if it's worth the trouble.

I'll say this though. If anyone starts a topic on the forums or
Brainstom idea and it gets alot of support (hundreds of votes) I'll be
on board to support a metapackage of apps only. We have a small team and
implementing else will really requite someone else to come on (without
*any* hand-holding) to get it done.

That's my 2 cents. Luis (now the Studio lead) might have other ideas.
