We should get that corrected.  notting has ben promising to get a script
that integrates with mash and pushes the information into pkgdb where bodhi
can then pull the information out.  Maybe he'll be able to give us an update
on that or see if someone else familiar with mash can work on it.

Its not the only one that's missing what should likely be classed as
critpath, clutter should likely be added too because gnome-shell's
dependency on it. I think the review of the crit path packages should
be part of the release process. There's likely things that are no
longer crit path and new things that are with each release.

I'm not sure that's the intent of CRITPATH. I think the original
definition was something on the order of packages whose breakage can
prevent the system from booting to a command prompt.

If gnome-shell is broken, an admin can still get in on a virtual
terminal or other window manager.

I believe it was for the primary desktop as well. Otherwise I doubt

This can be more difficult than you think.

1) There is no other window manager on most systems
2) I have run into multiple GDM issues where it went into respawning
mode making going into a virtual terminal hard to impossible as you
get switched back to whatever one X is on. Most of those GDM issues
were NOT with GDM itself but with the shell chain in some way.
3) GRUB is set to no prompt on many systems meaning choosing runlevel
3 is not easy.

I have had to boot my test system several times into rescue mode to
manually 'yum update' or fix something because of the above. If we can
define outside of Critical Path as being can be fixed by booting into
rescue mode. I think a critical path could become a lot lot smaller
:).

Honestly, it was low enough on the todo list that I completely forgot about
it. If someone wants to grab the idea and run with it, that's fine with me.

Note that critpath list generation is currently broken as well.

If it isn't, there's a bug somewhere, as critpath generation should take
dependencies into account - if gnome-shell actually depends on clutter,
then clutter should be pulled into critpath automatically.
