in theory we should make optional as many as possible, except the ones that
are mandatory :) sounds obvious right? :)
for example, are the macros re-added in XWIKI-14485 really mandatory? Like
the formula, rss, container, etc.
ideally mandatory dependencies should be the ones that should for the base
flavor, that stay at the core of any flavor.
For me is not clear how we will mark the dependencies that are optional,
but that's another topic.
From the list you gave:

Hi everyone,
I just implemented https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1229 which
allows to indicate that a dependency will be installed by default but
does not have a string dependency link with the extension, meaning
that uninstalling it won't impact the backward dependencies (so they
are not really backward dependencies in that case :)).
Now we need to decide what exactly is optional in Standard flavor.
Here are some ideas:
* application-help-center
* xwiki-platform-menu-ui
* xwiki-platform-wiki-ui-mainwiki
this should be broken down so we could remove some stuff form there too,
like macro box or message
* xwiki-platform-office-ui
* xwiki-platform-invitation-ui
* xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui
this might be core if we consider apps to be core, still on Website you
might not need to create AWM apps
* xwiki-platform-linkchecker-ui
* xwiki-platform-sandbox
* xwiki-platform-sharepage-ui
* xwiki-platform-distribution-flavor-tour
* application-templates-ui
what about the editors? maybe someone will want only the GWT one? or have
just wiki editor.
It's a hard topic :)
When we uninstall them, will this be reflected in the Active Installs?
Maybe finally we will see some differences between usage of the bundled
extensions.
Anyway, great work Thomas.
Thanks,
Caty
I did not actually tried to uninstall those so it's possible it's not
a good idea to uninstall some of them right now (hardcoded use
somewhere maybe).
WDYT ?
