        Essentialy I agree with you Martin, even though I have more lines
in my Emacs buffer:
        
        I don't envisage lots of stuff creeping into Bonobo for Gnome 2.0,
in fact, quite the opposite - I plan to throw out some of the deprecated
crud that is in there, prune down the interfaces to only those that are
used, and only those methods that are really used, drasticaly pare down
some of the server 'helper' wrappers since XObject deprecates them, cut
down the fat in XObject and make the thing a lot leaner.
        
        The thought of adding a load of disparate, non-component API's,
with lots of code / API that cannot be changed, without proper review,
design and scrutiny into Bonobo upsets me slightly :-) For Gnome 2.0 I
want to make the process of interface and code integration into Bonobo
even more strict, requiring an API to be used fully and successfuly
outside before it is integrated into the core.

        Regards,
  
                Michael.
