It's difficult to speak to GNOME as a whole because -- GNOME OS visions
notwithstanding -- GNOME is a diverse collection of independent projects
of different sizes, levels of maturity, "activeness" and agendas.

Different projects of different sizes have different needs.  I'd caution
against generalizing from one example.  The arguments brought up here
may not be unique to Evolution, but they're based on observations of how
well Evolution development policies are serving the Evolution community.
