The analogy here would be if installing .zip support installed two ugly GUI apps. That's clearly not right, and if this isn't reverted in F20 I'll have no choice to blacklist the chainsaw and LogFactor5 applications from the software center.
I'm not sure those two apps are actually the problem, either. It's not their fault that another application (LibreOffice Base... decided to depend on them.
Base doesn't directly depend on them, they come from log4j and that is pulled in a number of extra levels down the dependency chain. By apache-commons-logging. Ideally packages could depend on the jars of log4j without getting those graphical apps along with it, i.e. split the log4j package.
