Physicists get information about tiny things by bombarding them with
high energy beams. But they still manage to understand things because of
the huge amount of data they get out of each experiment.

If we want good debugging with few reports, reports must be very
informative.

I'm all for getting out of gnome or releasing 0.98.5 with it then. It's
a volunteer project, there's no boss to force a deadline. There's even
no one to force anyone to contribute.

I'd rather see 0.98.5 in next gnome, and work with Damien making fun
things in gm, than 1.00 in next gnome, and no more Damien with us.

PS: oh, and for those that don't know: I'm away next week, so that makes
one less patch-providers to help Damien -- and we're few.
