oh, i recall this GNOME 2 hat a couple of namechanges somehow.
"GNOME 2 Desktop Environment"
then some months later as the pressure came higher it became
"GNOME 2 Desktop"
without environment because there was none such thing. and at the final

"GNOME 2 Developer Plattform"
or something like this. which told everyone hey it's not ready yet.
GNOME 2 is mainly a library rewrite.
