Well, I'd agree if you said having the software installed would be
valuable for those (I guess: few?) of us doing RAW processing. But
those could still benefit from the MIME bindings and open ufraw via
the context menus. However, as long as ufraw does not provide a
reasonable GUI by itself, I think its better to keep it hidden - at
least as long as it is part of a standard desktop installation.
Plus, I believe that there is a consensus in GNOME that applications
(e.g. file viewers like eog or evince) which are pretty useless unless
opened with a file (i.e. which do not offer a "File -> New" menu) are
hidden from the menu and only opened via file context.

As Bastien pointed out, if you could please split the GUI from the
batch processing in this package and imagemagick changes recommends
only to the latter, then I'll be satisfied enough to close this bug. ;)
