Those capplets were wanted enough to have been made, so obviously they scratch someones itch. Or in other words they're usefull to someone even if they're not usefull to you personally. Besides didn't you imply earlier ([1],[2]) that gnome was consolidating features, not removing them? So Which is it? The above paragraph only succeeds in reinforcing my believe that the gnome usability engineers cut and ran instead of adressing the actual scaling problem. And the above seems to indicate gnome's all set on doing it all over again. I'm gonna guess that was not the picture you were trying to give? By all means merge the ones that can be merged, but do everyone a favor and do _not_ remove the remaining ones even if you consider them useless: if someone went trough all the trouble of creating it and getting it included it's obviously usefull to someone.
