Somewhere halfway between those, in that I've talked with the GNOME Software
dev about it in the past. Software presents "Categories" and "Featured
Applications" -- the idea would be to extend that into also including
curated bundles. One click to select everything recommended as "Fedora
Design Suite".
That would be great *if* we could use the same mechanism for actually
doing the composes. If not it'd be pointless duplication of work and
just introduce more errors.
As I mentioned on IRC, I was really hoping that Modularity would
provide us
with a good way to define those bundles, but at this point I'm far from set
on that as the approach.
Hope springs eternal!
