 While there is plenty of space for both in the physical sense, why
 would anyone want to have two browsers, two email clients, and two
 instant messaging clients installed by default?  Yes, sometimes more
 is better, but this isn't one of those cases.  All this does is
 clutter the applications menu with stuff that the user doesn't need
 and probably doesn't care about.  Just because the user has installed
 Gnome doesn't mean we need to punish them with a cluttered interface.
