This is certainly no official statement (such a statement doesn't exist
yet), but F-Spot and Banshee will *always* remain separate applications,
as they have a different focus. F-Spot will not become a module inside
Banshee and this is also not what abock intends to do. The proposal is
mostly whether or not we should build F-Spot and Banshee on top of a
common library.
