removing an entire group less the deps of other packages [solved]

Is this possible? For example, I wish to remove all members of the 'gnome' group less the dependencies of other packages.

$ sudo pacman -Rs gnome
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: backintime: requires gnome-session
:: eog: requires gnome-desktop
:: eog: requires gnome-icon-theme
:: evince: requires gnome-icon-theme
:: file-roller: requires nautilus
:: gdm: requires gnome-session
:: paprefs: requires gnome-icon-theme
:: pavucontrol: requires gnome-icon-theme
:: seahorse: requires gnome-keyring
:: xfce4-settings: requires gnome-icon-theme

Here I need to keep gnome-session, gnome-desktop, gnome-icon-theme, gnome-keyring, and nautilus. Can I do this without a ton of work?

That's what '-Ru' does.
