I don't think this is true.  A lot of issues hav ebeen addressed in the
2.24 timeframe.  GDM 2.24 will have considerably less regressions than
GDM had.  I think that the issue is that re-implementing some of the
regressions is just time-consuming.  Plus some of the people working
on GDM have also been focused on adding new functionalities (such as
features available via the new GDM panel like power management and
keyboard switching functionalities) rather than addressing the
identified regressions.
