It seems more appropriate that this be pursued by distributors and Fluendo
themselves (distributing directly to end users) than GNOME. We don't control
the integration or immediate end-user experience, so there's not a lot we
can do that will directly impact users here - unless you can think of other
opportunities. If you mean "us" to include all distributors as well, that is
a different issue. :-)
