Or, better yet, modified so that removing an application doesn't cause the user to be presented with the scary demand that they also remove "gnome". I'm not too familiar with the packages, but I understand there's an "optional" type as opposed to a "required" type. If Evolution was "optional" would it force the user to confirm removing gnome as well?
