Of weeks. Let's say around Christmas or 1st January.

Good news!

Not for GNOME 2.8, but perhaps for GNOME 2.10.

I think we will disable them by default, and when they are more common,
we enable them by default. If required, we make a new release to push
people to use them. The problem is that new releases are long to spread.
If we release for example without DBUS now, then it means that in 6
months, most distributions will have a GM without DBUS and thus a GAIM
plugin would be unusable without recompiling.
