As I said, this may not be the best change to make.  But we should still
welcome suggestions.  Every change that the HIG team suggests is a
likely change to a lot of packages, so the cost has to be considered
against the benefit.

gnome-disk-volume-manager or gnome-storage-volume-manager would probably
be just fine too, and might help developers, but I'm equally happy
with rejecting the suggested change, as I already said.

The cost that wouldn't be OK would be to lose developers or other
contributors because they looked at our mailing lists and saw people
rejecting changes out of hand without even thanking the person who
came up with them.

Anyway, enough on this already :-)

Best,

Liam
