I strongly vote for having xfce and goodies separated, for the reasons 
that you've mention, and for many others also.

The way it is now it is just fine, and we never had any problem related 
to this, however i have two questions that i already asked them but i 
didn't get an answer.

1) The version number in the packages names, is going to stay and 
changes from a major release to another 4, 6, ... ?
2) How do we decide which package goes to xfce and which one goes to the 
goodies?

A comment for 2, i see mousepad and xarchiver and others there! which 
don't look like a core application, for my point of view of course.

Cheers,
Ali.
