This seems like a good move to make, however I'm disturbed by some of
the things that have been moved to meta-demoapps. 

I'd like to see this literally just containing applications, I think we
should support any libraries in the core metadata so that people can
more easily build on them.

Some explicit examples are telepathy-gabble (XMPP connection manager for
telepathy) and telepathy-farsight (audio/video framework used by
Telepathy). I can see quite a few of our users wanting to use these
libraries.

Further you've moved gnome-settings-daemon to meta-demoapps, I'm a bit
worried about having an images dependencies live in a separate
(potentially disabled) layer to the image. Any particular reason for
this move? Is the intention to move the whole Sato UI to meta-demoapps?

Cheers,
Joshua
