Since the gnome-utils components become independent projects, there is no reason to keep this metapackage in the repositories.

Please drop this package.

When we drop this package and users uninstall it, its dependencies will become orphans. We might want to notice that users removing this package should also run

pacman -D --asexplicit baobab gnome-dictionary gnome-font-viewer gnome-screenshot gnome-search-tool gnome-system-log

gnome-search-tool may be omitted as it's not a gnome component anymore.

And if we don't like meta packages we should avoid them like it was done in the gnome-games split.
