in theory we should make optional as many as possible,

for example, are the macros re-added in XWIKI-14485 really mandatory? Like
the formula, rss, container, etc.
I'm only talking about the flavor here and nothing else. Those macros
are part of the WAR right now so that's a different subject.
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.
Yes and you can find another mail about that :)
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 :)
Not searching a perfect list just yet, just some obviously optional
stuff that don't require heavy refactoring to be made optional.
Others will be made optional on a case by case basic along the way.
When we uninstall them, will this be reflected in the Active Installs?
Yes (at least in term of data), Active Install send installed
extensions with each ping.
Maybe finally we will see some differences between
usage of the bundled
extensions.
Anyway, great work Thomas.
Thanks,
Caty
