I think some people are opposed to such a release because basically the 
libunicode library is deprecated for the 2.0 platform - Some people are 
opposed to making libunicode a dependancy in the GNOME 1.4 platform, only 
to remove it for GNOME 2.0

SOme people are suggesting using th Glib unicode stuff (in a seperate 
library) for GNOME 1.4 - Havoc would be a better person to ask on this 
issue.
