The massive migration of dependencies from gnome-desktop-environment to gnome-core is extremely undesirable, because it spoils the usefulness that gnome-core used to have in pulling just enough packages to have a basic GNOME environment. Now, instead, it pulls WAY too many packages and leaves the user without any simple method for installing basic GNOME components.
