The GPL vs. LGPL issue (which was reference by Olav's link to the
release team decision) was brought up by me in the 2.22 cycle [1], so
don't just claim wrong things, stick to facts please. I know this is a
very-hard discussed topic, but to me it feels like there haven't been
any attempts on fixing the real blockers, so this is definitely a -1
from me (because of lacking community interaction - which was the reason
to noch accept gnome-main-menu some cycles ago).
