I think his point is not that people would generally be reluctant to
depend on bonobo but rather that there seems to be some uncertainty as
to how gnome-vfs and bonobo co-exist in the platform. Is gnome-vfs a
higher-level library than bonobo or the other way around? My personal
feeling is that gnome-vfs is higher-level than bonobo and should depend
upon it, but I can definitely see how one would feel that a vfs layer is
lower level than the component architecture.
