	The thing is I think we will _never_ want to move any of these
modules into the stanard 'GNOME' directory - we want a clean break. If
(eventualy) we move packages into GNOME/stable/sources/ORBit eg. we will
just have an unholy mess of discontiguous versions creating a nightmare
for people who don't know that in Gnome 2.0 you need stable
'bonobo-activation' and not stable 'oaf' etc.

	It seems to me better in the long run to create a clean new tree.

	I agree that the renaming is a mess - I'd prefer to stick it in
GNOME2/ personaly, as it was to start with.

	Regards,
