Since when do we have reference platforms ? I missed something and GNOME
went all corporate behind my back ? It might be a priority for Sun and
Ximian (obviously) but I seem to remember GNOME targetting "free"
(libre) Unix-like systems, and the actual support depending on the
volunteers' work.

If nobody with access to a Sun Solaris box does the job, it won't get to
work better by itself.
