Fuck.  I evidently missed the reminder mail, and missed the meeting.
Apologies to all.

We have a few non-platform, desktop-only libraries who are widely used
in the desktop itself.  But they are not bound by the API/ABI rules, so
they become a pain in the ass when someone decides to change something.

Libnotify is special in that it should absolutely be part of the
platform.

Should we scrub the desktop moduleset on every release cycle to see
which libraries should be made part of the platform?

Dobey said he would revert it next week if he is not able to fix all the
remaining issues this week.  Since it is already Friday, we can ask him
to revert.

We *still* need to re-test a bunch of apps and libraries that got
changes to use the new naming spec with a fallback to the old one.
