Yup sure could.  I'm also pretty disappointed that one can't even view
rpm or tar.gz files which is something gmc has been able to do forever.
Anyway I'm willing to be patient after all this is just a 1.0 release.
I question whether it should be moved to the stable branch on
ftp.gnome.org however.  I really, really don't want the same thing to
happen like last time GNOME was rushed out the door.  What a lot of bad
press:-(
