It's a lot of work. But there's nothing to stop any of these ideas being
implemented. And when we have the code to make this all work, we can
build something new: the next generation desktop, and call it GNOME 3.0.
But we can't keep doing "little" point-release things and pass a future
point-release off as GNOME 3.0 - it doesn't work like that. We'd be
crucified.
Yes, we can do it now, and people *are* doing it now. And each cool new
feature will get added to some release as it becomes available. And when
the last feature on that list gets committed to CVS, and Alan says "OK,
NOW can we call it 3.0?", people will say "Oh, come on! How can we call
this release 3.0? It's clearly just an incremental improvement over 2.38!"
