???

Havoc, I suppose you mean that there wouldn't be much point in working
on 2.0.0 _revision_ instead of _branch_ ? AFAIK quite some core modules
are branched for 2.0, and the upcoming (2.0.1, 2.0.2 etc) releases are
based on 2.0 branch instead of head.

Is it because profterm is quite a "new" module in the sense that it's
only for GNOME 2.0, so there's no need for branching yet?

Why need to remove?
