Apparently this `confuses the users', too. (Well, that's what I was told when they took it out of Nautilus, along with every feature of that program that I actually used it for.)

Perhaps the GNOME project should change the expansion of its acronym: with the near-demise of Bonobo the amount of `network object model' in there is minimal anyway. Given the GNOME attitude (`on crack' and dismissive contempt) to suggestions that perhaps not all features that the program's maintainer doesn't use are useless, I suggest the recursive acronym `GNOME Now for Obtuse Morons Exclusively'. It's not true, but at times it seems to be their goal :(
