Title:
  [Launcher] [design] Remove the recent apps from the launcher

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  In Progress
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Recent apps live and can be accessed already via right edge. Them
  appearing in the Launcher is duplication. Also mixing recent apps with
  favourite ones is a concept that users has difficulties to grasp.

  Launcher should only contain user's favourite apps, and possibly apps
  that are asking for attention.

  Removing recent apps from the launcher means that there is no way to
  add favourite apps to the launcher any more and we need to do that
  from somewhere else. App preview page would a quick fix. Longpressing
  an app icon in dash would be more elegant solution. We could easily
  add longpress functionality to items in spread to do favoriting.

  Proper design is still missing.
