I looked at these and the are great! I've been using the DE 
agnostic menus in Cinnamon since they were first announced
on this list.

You mentioned the "extra applications" issue and the decision (which
I agree with) to avoid making software-center a dependency.

There are additional reasons not to depend on USC: One of them
is that it is reported to be very difficult to install in Mint, into which
people might want to install US metas. All Ubuntustudio packages 
are accessable from Synaptic in Mint, as it uses Ubuntu repos.

The other reason is that folks who do not want support for paid 
software in their machines (myself included) often remove 
software-center and install Synaptic.
