After discussing the question on IRC, the following facts have been
highlighted:
* It would be way too early to include Emerillon in Gnome. I
entirely agree with that, I almost didn't send the previous
email, but after all, how can you be too soon to not propose
something? :) The idea was to start the discussion on whether
we should include or not every software just because people
demand it.
* Applications should grow and have a little life out of Gnome
before inclusion.
* Adding every applications has the effect of limiting
competition. I can point an exception but still their efforts
seems "useless" because "we already have such an application".
Therefore, adding Emerillon would keep other people from
possibly proposing better solutions. And we are not even
approaching the itchy problem of removing apps.
So I think the release team shouldn't even consider this email as a
proposal.
Thanks :)
