This is not what I said or what I can say - I am in no way part of that
decision-making process. There is also quite a bit of difference inbetween
some misc addon aplets and similar not working and a major subsystem like
multimedia not work. IMHO new pieces coming into gnome should carry their
own proof of portability. After all you do expect things to work on your
linux box, right?
