About 'gnome-disk-utility' as a default app

 

I've always wondered why we, or any OS, would include a potentially
dangerous app in the "Accessories" column of a menu. IMHO Red Hats
'gnome-disk-utility' only adds risk so why do we even include it as a
default app?

In many ways it's comparable to Gparted which Ubuntu long ago decided to
provide only on the live image so it would be available for installation
purposes. BTW I think Gparted is much easier for even a noob to use.

So I just wanted us to think about possibly dropping
'gnome-disk-utility' from "depends" and/or "recommends". It's not an
earthshaking thing .............. just a thought.
