Does that mean that Python applets will no longer work? If yes, will you
drop the GIR interface?

Yes, but it will happen only if I will be able to finish invest applet port to c.

The (a bit outdated) list of stuff which may need to be ported is here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomePanel/ThirdPartyApplets

(I would like to edit that page, but for some reason I don't have rights
to do it — maybe you can do that? I.e. Command Runner Applet is no longer
needed, because we have a replacement in gnome-applets.)

What is your wiki username? It must be added to this list:
https://wiki.gnome.org/TrustedEditorGroup

Does that replacement has more or less same functionality? Anyway, should not be hard to port to c if that applet is useful.
