If you don't want to call it a Gnome project, then you should be less harsh on
people like Ikey who forked it and called it something else (in the case of
Consort/Consortium).

We can document the level of support that it comes with, and in my opinion
System Settings should have at least some level of awareness that it's running
outside of Gnome Shell and that it should hide some entries (isn't the idea
that Gnome may have different shells?)

This will also not be shipped with the official Gnome distribution.
Distributions will have to download the Gnome Flashback components seperately.
The session files that have been dropped from core gnome will also be moved to
the Gnome Flashback distribution, so no need to re-introduce that legacy code.

I understand the desire to deprecate legacy code in order to lighten the load
of work on current software going forward, but with this project I expect the
co-operation of Gnome developers where we need to make things work. It would be
horribly sub-optimal to require a fork of System Settings, for example.

Also, Vincent's request for someone to take care of the old components have
been very well publicised for months now. If anyone had any objections, they
had ample time to voice it.
