Let me present some extremely precise statistics derived from an
intensive research program.

	Number of apps using the stable GNOME platform: 100+

	Number of apps using gnome-libs HEAD: what, zero?

You tell me which branch I am talking about.

I am *really* annoyed by this attitude of "screw the stable platform,
2.0 will fix everything".  The stable platform is what we use and is
what users see.  Fixing everything in 2.0 and nothing for what we have
right now is what most cultures have defined as useless.
