Package: command-runner-applet
Version: 0.4-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

In the upcoming gnome-panel 3.22 release, support for GIR applets [1] and for
out-of-process applets in general [2], has been dropped.

This means command-runner-applet will no longer work with that new version.

The potential fix would be to port the applet to C, however I am not suggesting
that as there is already a Command applet in C available, part of gnome-applets
since 3.20 release [3]. It looks like it implements the same functionality as
command-runner-applet, and is more configurable.

So I think the best thing we can do is removing command-runner-applet from
Stretch, in favour of the better alternative.
