We probably want to send a mail to devel-announce-list about this. Any
volunteer? (I'll do it later if nobody has done it)

Looks like Mike is not fond of splitting.

My current feeling is that people don't agree with Jeff right now. A lot
of people probably didn't have time to reply, though.

My personal opinion is that I'd like to see one release with gtk# in the
bindings before doing so (to see if everything works fine).

Any volunteer to ping marketing-list, or someone in particular?
