This is slightly off-topic, but I'd like to address it while it's on 
the table.

Yorba's applications were considered non-GNOME for nearly five years 
and are still not part of GNOME core (although we're now hosted on the 
infrastructure).  We *definitely* care when we we're broken between 
releases of Vala.  It's worse when those changes are introduced at the 
last minute in the cycle -- less time to prepare -- and even worse, 
when they're introduced in a dot-release.

Things have stabilized with Vala over the past few releases, so good 
times.  I hope that track record continues.
