I haven't been yet. Thank you. This time (2.5/2.6) brings some major
changes and new features. With the spacial nautilus, mime handling,
Cairo based gtk and implementations for other freedesktop standards it's
only natural to try to minimise the risks and leave some features out.
It's also natural that if a void appears something else will take its
place.

I feel strange to file bug reports on things classified as features.
Mailing lists seem more appropriate even if a dedicated solution could
appear. I saw the gnome bounties and I imagined a portal for users and
developers to propose and discuss new features.
