This MR cleans up KDE edition for the upcoming release.
The idea is to keep only one edition and drop full/minimal splitting.

Why would you want to remove manjaro-application-utility?
Also, being advertised as a ready-to-go edition, a mail client should be included. So I would keep thunderbird - or an alternative...
It looks bad in KDE, not a very adverisable feature. We will drop Hello eventually anyway so it's not a big deal.
Most people nowadays use online-clients, for those who need a specialized client it's quite convenient to install it from pamac. They have an internet access after all since they want to use an email.
Why are you removing GVFS, Android Tools & AppImageLauncher?
Sorry about the late reply.
Android tools is not something everyone (or even most of users) need.
AppImageLauncher introduces a set of troubles when it comes to work with AppImages as it overrides default executable behavior. E.g. Steam games distributed as appimages start to ask about integration which is not needed at all. Or, sometimes, even don't start. Developers don't test their setups with the launcher installed.
GVFS has zero use in KDE by itself. All packages which need it have corresponding dependencies.
While i use the GVFS (required by Gimp) and Android Tools (just sometimes), i agree that being installed by default is something i would reconsider. Regarding the AppImageLauncher i always uninstall it, but i have seen people using it as they have hard time to create a proper desktop file for their appimages. Once again, being there by default can be reconsidered.
The Manjaro Application Utility is something i never used since i installed Manjaro. For me Pamac does the job either via UI or CLI. At some point, on my KDE Plasma unstable install i had Discover, but not using it at all.
If there are ways to lower the size of the ISO, i'm all in for it.
Why is this still open? @LordTermor Merge it?
