Well it would be nice to get them *somewhere*, anyway, since it does feel
silly that there are a number of distro's and organizations in the same
situation who are forced to basically do the same work and have no way
to cooperate.  Maybe we can fix something out-of-band from this discussion
then, and leave it as an internal decision for the evo team whether or
not to include them.

I'd certainly like to upgrade if possible to stay relatively current,
but also have implementation constraints about installation size and
compatability with being run from older gnome desktops.  And last time
i tried (about a month pre-release) it didn't pan out so well.
