[Goodies-dev] git repository layout

[Mike Massonnet]

Well, nevermind, I don't know why but I had that goodies vs xfce issue
in head while answering. This is like a vicious circle, I think you
will be doing right by grouping like you said. In fact, I expect
distributions that use Xfce as alternatives to provide a full fledged
desktop :-)
