Are the "Ubuntu Core Apps" also intended for the desktop?

Are the "Ubuntu Core Apps" also intended for the desktop?

I have been reading a lot about the Ubuntu Touch Core Apps initiative lately. Given Ubuntu's device factor convergence plans and the cross-platform Qt/QML foundation of the Ubuntu SDK, is it the project's intention to also bring the Core Apps to Ubuntu Desktop, thereby replacing their GNOME counterparts as default applications?
This would make sense in the overall strategy - and would be an approach I would certainly favor as long as the apps properly adapt to desktop screen sizes and input devices - but it seems that it hasn't been clearly communicated if this is a long-term (or even mid-term) goal or not.
