Nothing, it's easy peasy. Now "gnome-core" seems to be the right option
for new GNOME installs because "gnome" metapackage is getting over

Not that simple. The metapackage requirements have changed and now users
have to cope with that or install an application they don't wanted nor
asked for.

Of course. I don't see any problem with gnome-documents itself. It's just
that I didn't have installed that application and want to keep it so.
