This is correct. However, it was decided that along with GNOME-1.4,
we will release a "preview development platform", including
at least:

 - GTK+-1.3.x
 - GLib+-1.3.x
 - Pango
 - libxml2

These will be clearly marked as not part of the GNOME platform, and
we'll make sure that they install alongside the GNOME-1.4 release
without affecting it.
