Hi Dmitry,
Correct me if my understanding is incorrect. Are you saying the
session files will be dropped from gnome-panel (either for GNOME 3.14
or GNOME 3.16) ? If that is going to the scenario then your name
change makes sense.

Currently there is no sign that there could be any release for GNOME Panel. Look at git history - almost only translation updates...

Session files was added to gnome-panel because we needed them somewhere. Now when we have gnome-flashback I think it is better place for those files.

It is not name change - it is new module/package.
