I think neither the Evolution nor the Nautilus teams know enough about
the status of each other's projects to make a decision.  Each team is
too busy hacking on their own stuff to pay much attention to the other
one.

And if you look at both projects from a 10,000 meter altitude, they
seem to be about equally buggy, unstable, undocumented, and
unfinished.  It's nothing to worry about; they are just not Done(tm).

Saying "<blah> is more important for GNOME 1.4" is pretty much
pointless, as both projects are pretty much indispensable for 1.4 to
kick ass anyways.
