I don't remember writing that; libbonobo usage has decreased but is
still used by major parts of the environment such as the panel and
evolution.

GNOME is a collection of components, they are regrouped in the
meta-gnome-desktop jhbuild module; there is no "minimal GNOME"
meta module.

The release team publishes module sets, using released tarballs.  For
example:
  http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.22.1/gnome-suites-2.22.1.modules

You can use this moduleset from jhbuild with the -m flag, jhbuild -m
URL build.

Alternatively you can keep on using subversion but using the 2.22
branches instead of trunk, jhbuild -m gnome-2.22 build will do that.
(or simply set moduleset = 'gnome-2.22' in your ~/.jhbuildrc).
