And that's the problem.

You did a larger change to the GNOME 2 platform without prior discussion
and agreement.

Just in case you already forgot it:

        ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/

contains an API frozen set of all the core libraries which we assembled about
two weeks. We had clear rules - rules that apply for all of us - and one of
these rules was that we have a freeze and this means that even if you're the
maintainer, you cannot just go ahead and do a major change in the GNOME 2.0
platform without asking.

And if you look at your posting to gnome-2-0 list, there were actually three
people who even OBJECTED to the changes you did: Michael Meeks, Joe Shaw and me.

We're in a freeze - and three people said no to your proposed changes - but you
did them anyway.
