Hugely reduce number of System Applications
Hi, on behalf of the release team, I would like to request that the number of unremovable System Applications in Software be hugely reduced. I suggest only the following applications should be unremovable:
- GNOME Control Center
- GNOME Help (yelp)
- GNOME Software
I also suggest ignoring <compulsory_for_desktop>
in appstream metadata and deprecating that tag, because applications should not be able to mark themselves as unremovable. Software might instead hardcode the list of unremovable applications, like it used to do, or some other mechanism could be developed that takes this power away from applications.

P.S. This can wait until 3.32, no need to try rushing it in at the last moment.
