Forgive my ignorance, but cairo is not a gnome project, so I am confused
how it could affect the release plans or be placed anywhere in the gnome
tree. Is something now dependent on cairo >= 1.3.6?

According to: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies

cairo 1.2.4 is all that is required.

Thanks for any clarification you can provide! Keep up the good work.
