Well, I generally do it for testing reasons, but I'd recommend it for
cleanliness reasons too. :-)

Yeah, lots of people have mentioned this. I've been helping the Debian
people with their attempts to move to GNOME 2, but it's a bit of a mess.
Mostly just communication and organisation though.

It should be mentioned however, that GARNOME is not here for that reason,
it's designed for GNOME testers first and foremost.
