Maintaining patches is a huge pain for large sites, unless you have someone
doing it for you (Red Hat, Ximian, etc., all ship patched GNOMEs).

But we'd also be spending the cycles in this development period, which would
be better spent fixing bugs on the features we already have (and there
hasn't been enough discussion of the proposed modules list so far...)
