Apparently some people misinterpreted what I was saying about Evolution's current state, and the apparent direction it is moving in, as a statement of what the long-term goals for Evolution actually are. I was just making a statement, that if you compare previous versions of evolution to what is currently CVS HEAD, you'll see that it has started moving in the direction of totally separate application UIs, and that if the component switching buttons are removed in 1.5, you basically get that. However, I was not trying to state that there is any definite decision on what will happen after we get to 2.2, as that has not been decided yet. I was just agreeing with the opinion that having the UIs be totally separate would be better for usability. And, there are several people that agree with that type of thinking. There are also a bunch of people that somehow think "lumping everything together into the same thing" somehow constitutes "tighter integration", and as such, are against splitting up the UIs. > Are there bugs for these types of goals?

Whether or not they are on par with something we might be doing soon, or even in the long run, is generally up in the air, and that is why the wishlist categorization of bugs exists. :) -- dobey
