to prevent disaster, i really think we need to branch all the modules
for gnome 2.0.0 after this freeze point, so that only fixes for these 9
bugs go in.

since we (ximian/sun/[probably red hat]) are still working on 2.0.1 bug
fixing, i'd say HEAD be open for 2.0.1 fixes rather than for 2.x.y
hacking.

if this freeze is happening tomorrow, then we need to reach a consensus
on this quickly.
